How much am I worth PART 2

Ok, so the reason for part 2?
I didn't complete part 1 properly, I avoided the question and didn't get a away with it.

When Dax mentioned about his family time and adventures that his took, it all began to fall into place.

I'm worth (by the hour)£65 at least, it's not what I charge but it is what I'm worth. The reason being is that I could be working on my ebooks to make passive incomes, I could be spending what little time I have with my fiancee. I worth it because I know what screws to turn. (see story below).

I got this story from either a Tony Robbins cd or from Stephen Covey.

This one time in a big shopping mall where there were say a dozen escalators, all at the time these escalators broke down. This was close to being the mall's biggest nightmare.

They wanted to make sure that they found the best man for the job, someone who they trusted to fix it. When the service man arrived he looked the escalators up and down and opened one of the units. He took out his srewdriver and truned the one screw half an inch. As soon as he turned it, the entire malls escalators began to move and all started working again.

The manager couldn't believe it and asked the service man how much it will all cost.

The service man confidently, replied '$10,000' to which the manager said 'what, for 5 minutes work, I want an itemised bill for that.'

The service man wrote on a piece of paper his itemised bill, here's what he wrote.

Turning the screw $1, know what screw to turn $9,999.

Thats how I currently rate myself. I know what screws to turn and I'm being to value my time more.
