Get paid before
you deliver. Every time.

Sent final files to a client, they went silent for 3 weeks. I had zero leverage because I'd already handed everything over.

I spent 2 hours last week just writing follow-up emails. Not doing client work. Just writing polite versions of 'please pay me for work I already did.'

The moment you hand over the final work, your leverage disappears completely. You're not negotiating anymore — you're begging.

I felt powerless. I didn't know what to do. I know they don't mean harm, but it's frustrating being ghosted after delivering months of work.

I spend 2-3 hours writing proposals that never get accepted. High rejection rates mean hours of work with zero compensation.

I just check my bank account and hope. There has to be a better system than this.
