    Oh my goodness, I'm glad I watched this clip.

    This was so me! Getting so bogged down with winning new business that I just didn't get the invoices out! I finally started using my calendar to force myself to do it. Plus I hired someone to help me. It's worth it because he more than pays for himself. And even if that's all he does, and all I do is break even, it's better than letting it go for so long that no money comes in for months on end. I was just notorious for this. Thank you for your honestly and for reminding me to stay on top of it even now!!
