The other day, I was thinking about certain things that keep repeating in my life, and why they kept happening. I researched and read a few articles about this online, I realised it was really down to what I was saying and my belief
This kept repeating in my life.
I am self employed and one of the problems I have had for years is that I will do work for clients, but when it came to them paying me, I had to keep chasing them and threatening to take legal action.
After reading various articles on the subject – of why the same things keep happening to you! I discovered that the clients who paid me on time, where the once I was happy to do their work with no problem and I kept saying how good it was to work with them because they always paid me on time.
The clients who had a history of paying me late mainly did this because I had no proper payment terms with them, and some I no longer enjoyed the work I was doing and resented the fact they paid me late. I was also having serious financial setbacks which was causing me stress to the point that I was just taking work on just to be able to make ends meet.
I had to make some changes as I was getting I very frustrated with the while situation. I started to belief that my clients will pay me on time because they appreciated the great work I was doing for them and where happy with my work. I started to say “ I have good clients who have the money in their account to pay me well before their due date of payment
I also made some practical changes:-
- I gave notice to the clients who where constantly paying me late.
- I put in place my payment terms which I sent to every client
- I made sure every new client paid a deposit
- I added interest will be charged for late payment of my invoice
The key to break the “same problem” cycle is to recognize and acknowledge your mistakes, learn the lesson, and move forward. Whether you are younger or older, you can always learn something new. Problems are only life’s way of teaching you a lesson.
