That accountant who told me to fire my first client was right
Back in 2018 I had this tiny bookkeeping gig in Austin, and one client paid late every single month, like 2 to 3 weeks past due. My accountant kept saying cut them loose, but I was scared to lose the $1,200 a month they brought in. Finally did it after 9 months of chasing invoices, and within 6 weeks I picked up two better clients who pay on time. The weird part is my stress level dropped way more than my income did, I actually made more money that year. Anyone else held onto a bad client out of fear and regretted waiting so long?
