Completely agree with sirearl and steve,
The other fact to business and wealth as well is that a general trait for successful people often opt to be paid for their abilities and results rather than the time they spend on a job.
It shows self belief and worth, if for arguments say, an SEO were to say "I can get you into the top 3 which should bring you 500 extra visitors and with your current conversion rates that should bring in an estimated 35 extra sales per month averaging out at a profit increase of £1000 per month, and I want to be paid £500 to do it".
If you were then to say - well what if I pay you the £500 and you don't get me into the top 3...
And an SEO were to say - "well I've still worked a set number of hours so I deserve to get paid..." what does that say about the service?
On the other side - if you were to then say "well how about I give you 30% of all the profits for 12 months, that way if your calculations are correct you'll actually make £300 per month rather than the one off £500, not only will you see a far greater return, but if you excel your anticipated numbers you could make a lot more money and so will I, however if you don't do what you say you can, you won't get paid a penny".....
Any person who turns around and says "No" is more likely doomed to be broke all their lives because they don't believe in themselves, their service or their worth.
If you choose to get paid per hour you're immediately limiting your eventual wealth because it is impossible to exceed the physical amount of hours within a day, a week or your life - even if you charge yourself out at £100ph and work without sleep it's impossible to earn a million within a year... however choose the right jobs, charge for results instead of your time and it can become a possibility.....
maybe next year
