I too write my own contracts and have to refer to them. I try my darndest not to alter from "my" way of billing for work, because if I do I drop the ball on invoicing all together and that means dropping the ball on getting paid. Self discipline is, regrettably the key. Once I learned that clients are all not alike and they, most of them, will pay for the services, especially if you tell them up front you will not give them the product unless they pay. Oh yah, the key to that one… keep to your guns. The one time I did not, the client got more then he actually paid me for. The guy still owes me 1/3 of the agreed price… putz, bet he’s published the stuff I wrote too. :[ Kathleen Your post is true and timely.
