If you can't come at the time I need you to come, I won't engage you and I'll get someone else. So you don't get paid. If you do want to get paid, you have to serve me at the time that I want to be served. The customer dictates the time, not the self-employed person. |
This seems like it could be remedied through intentions and visualizations so that you attract the type of customers at times that are suitable to you or at the very least the both of you. For example, intending to work with customers only before noon on Mondays and Tuesdays, on Wednesdays you work with them only after three and so on. By making this your intention you would attract the people who have schedules that resonates with yours. This puts you in charge.
