Owning a business is rough, especially when you depend on "slow pay" clients. It has been over 7 weeks since my last invoice was paid, with lots of money outstanding. I LOVE my career, I love working as an independent contractor, but this not getting paid and working my ASS off is just about ready to break me. I have a side business that never came to fruition, but I am looking at it now as a means to be 100% self-sufficient instead of working through freelance agencies. Even though I would still be depending on clients to pay, I could set stricter standards and do the follow-up myself. Since I am off today, I am going start brainstorming new marketing strategies.
Here's to hoping!!!
