Episode 18: Always make sure you have a FULL PROOF way of getting PAID.
People can be tricky when it comes to paying their bills and debts.
Many attempt to flake off or disappear, hoping that this person they are indebted to suddenly forgets about that which is owed.
The truth is, any good professional does not forget, and not only that, but intelligent professionals make certain that they employ methods that assure they receive their payment correctly.
This is done by implementing the upfront method, where you ask clients to pay you up front before servicing them, or with the implementation and signing of a contract.
If you are protected by the law, then you are generally safe, and if you have received 100% of your fee beforehand, then you are certainly safe.
This cannot be truer than in the case of professionals who work in the service industry.
We have dealt first hand with people who seek to be legitimate and trustworthy, only to realize that they are fakers and fraudsters. Do not make our mistake.
Be smart, be safe, and most of all, never be too timid to ask for what is rightfully yours.
