Picasso – 10 minutes & 40 years

A customer came to Pablo Picasso and asked for him to paint her a portrait.

He did so in 10 minutes. And then asked for $20,000 dollars.

The customer was perplexed and said – “But it only took you 10 minutes?”

His response: “It took me 40 years to be able to do that!”

Startups: The price needs to be a function of value created, not the time taken.
