I’m fortunate to have lost very little in terms of income owed me over the years. That’s probably because almost from the get-go, I refused to be a shrinking violet and allow clients to walk all over me. It’s very true in the freelancing world that the squeaky wheel gets the grease…and I’m never afraid to do all the squeaking that’s necessary. What I’ve found, however, is that the mention of litigation isn’t quite as scary to deadbeats as promises that you’ll spread their name and your story to as many people you can reach. If they can’t afford to pay you on time, they probably can’t afford to settle a lawsuit down the line. Either way, it buys them more time. But when their personal reputation is on the line, things start happening real quick!

Have a great weekend!
