Saying NO!!!!! Increases my bottom line

This came about from answering another question about add on services. Saying no to to smaller things leaves more time to make real money. I have people ask me for little things ( in their minds) but are ginormouse time wasters. Can u replace the plastic roller wheel in my sliding screen door? They have no idea what it takes to track down the right wheel. They think Home Depot has everything and your time and gas to Home Depot is free. But in most cases hardware stores don't have the exact right wheel. In my estimation 3 to 4 hours of actual time to change 1 wheel on sliding screen door. That's finding the wheel, be it hardware store, Internet or specialty store, going back out and taking the door down, removing old wheel and replacing new wheel and installing door. And that's the best case senerio. Usually wheel doesn't come out easy and you have to take apart the screen door to get to the corner wheel bracket and then rescreen the whole screen. So 3 to 4 hour of time along with a rescreen is $365 to $465 of MY TIME. I can make a brand new awesome marquie door for $295 kit cost $98 20 minutes to cut and screen and drive out to install all told maybe an hour total of my time and $200 in profit. What small time wasters do people ask u to do that are a complete waste of time and make you no money.
