    I was on the phone with legal counsel yesterday when an email came in saying I would finally be paid (in increments, but paid nonetheless). Nothing like good timing!

    Lessons learned:

    • Demand up-front payment from new clients before starting work.
    • Don't wait over 6 months before threatening legal action when a client doesn't pay a significant invoice.
    • Invoice on a regular basis, even on a relatively short-term contract.
