Listen Later

Late payments and dodgy clients can give you huuuge headaches down the road. Is there any way to spot these people upfront? And what can you do to handle it professionally if you’re finding yourself stuck in this unfortunate situation?

At the end of the day – you deserve to be paid. You’ve done the work, and your client isn’t holding up their end of the bargain. How can you make sure you get the money you’ve earned in your bank account, and what can you do next time to protect yourself even more? So you can be as prepared as possible, we’re going into all this in today’s episode!


In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Why you should run a mile from anyone with an unrealistic budget 🚩
  • How to make sure your contract is as clear as possible
  • What you can do to proactively check if your new client will be able to pay you
  • Why invoicing (and receiving payment!) upfront is a must
  • How you can handle a late payment professionally
