> It depends on how much money I ask people to pay. I'm sure someone rich enough would be willing to plan their travel time around me if it meant they could save a long flight. Think of it this way: Donald Trump says to himself, "Hmm, I could spend 12 hours flying to Europe and take my private jet right now, at 3 pm, or I could wait until 10 am tomorrow and make the trip instantly." He might be willing to wait. And I might be CHEAPER than the private jet anyway.

More importantly, you give your absolute best clients the ability to pay for priority service. Let's say Trump needs to be halfway around the world *right now*, so he calls you up and offers to pay triple the price for priority service. You zap away from where you are, grab him, zap him where he needs to be, and zap back to your original location. You've just made fixty hojillion dollars and it's taken you thirty seconds at most. You wouldn't need to bother spending a whole hour per day doing this.
