Since tomorrow is "payday" for me, I am reminded how grateful I am for wonderful clients–who pay on time!
I am super-picky about who I work with… long experience and tough lessons learned have taught me that I absolutely can not afford to work with anyone who is a drain on my time, my energy or my spirit.
After years of refining and streamlining my business and gaining more and more clarity about who I work with best, who I like working with and who is profitable for me to work with, I now have a client roster of wonderful folks who appreciate my work and are a pleasure to work with.
One of the benefits of those relationships is that I am never paid late. Part of that has to do with the standards and policies I’ve put in place in my business. I have most of my retainer clients on auto-pay so all I have to do is run their credit cards on the 1st of each month and I’m paid.
The other part is simply that I work with people who value our relationship and what my work brings to them and their business. I have two clients who pay on their own each month, but I never have to worry about them paying late or having to remind them. They are always on time with their payments.
I am so grateful to all of my clients, who honor me with their business and confidence!
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, the virtual assistant term is really completely idiotic to...
