1. Creativity thrives on a relaxed state. Not recieving compensation for the work completed keeps a designer in survival mode. We can't be creative if we are spending our time worrying about paying bills.
2. The time we spend chasing money owed to us is time we could be using to brainstorm ways to get you more business!
3. Not being paid on time means we have to take on more projects to stay ahead, which means we rush. Rushing usually means we are not at our best and mistakes are made. It also means we take longer to finish projects because we need to the money, so we overbook!
4. We don't feel valued when we are the last person you feel you have to pay. You become the last person on our list the next time you need a website change or a print ad done yesterday!
5. We do this work full time and depend on cash flow to stay in business.
6. Although I love what I do, it is what I do to pay rent and buy groceries...its not a hobby, it's a business and needs to be treated as one.
7. The dotcom bubble burst years ago. Internet workers don't work for free anymore to "get more work" or have something notable to show in our portfolios. Most of us have years of experience and don't need to work for free to get more work.
8. YOU are stopping the flow of more money coming into your life by not paying your bills. It's a lack of faith saying you don't believe more money will be coming in so you need to keep what you have. Open the flow and watch what happens!
