WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN A CLIENT REFUSES TO PAY YOU?

“Looking back, the money was not that big a deal. It was the mental anguish that was the most painful part.” - Shinah

Today, I’m telling the dramatic story of how I worked my butt off as a new calligraphy business owner… and an unscrupulous client took advantage of my naïveté and REFUSED TO PAY ME. 

The FOUR CRUCIAL LESSONS I learned from the whole, gut-wrenching experience?

1. Always get a CONTRACT signed: Here’s a great CONTRACT TEMPLATE just for CALLIGRAPHERS (and it’s 40% off from 6/29/2023 to 7/5/2023)
2. Always get at least 50% PAYMENT in advance 
3. Put a SYSTEM in place so you can deal with stuff like non-payment with less emotion
4. It’s NOT PERSONAL when it comes to business
