Secret Formula For Massive Business Success Wtih Annie Jennings

Massive success can be yours although success comes with
its challenges. The challenge of discovering your own
special destiny and contribution, and finding the essence
of what drives you forward is central to success in all
areas of life including business. As a national marketing,
publicity and success expert, I, Annie Jennings, reveal my
secrets to building a business that reflects the essence of
who you are and reflects your unique contribution to this
world.

You'll begin your quest for massive success with a new
business mission statement called a "DESTINY Statement" or
your "DESTINY Formula For Success". Your destiny formula
for success is a statement of intent that reveals how you
will express the talents of your inner self and what you
will give to the world.

A destiny statement will reflect your personal values and
the essence of who you are. If your life and business are
aligned with the essence of who you are, you create the
potential for each day to become a powerful stream of
income for you. Work will seem like play, million dollar
ideas will come to you and you will be living with eager
anticipation of what the next day will bring.

How do we know what our essence really is? Essence is the
source of an endless supply of energy and the fuel of your
life. While performing in your essence you experience an
endless supply of ideas, energy, excitement and passion.
You are never bored as one exciting moment leads to the
next.

Living within your destiny formula for success simply feels
right. One major guideline for building your destiny
formula for success is that you must rely on yourself for
the ultimate feedback of what is true for you. Other
people's feedback, no matter how trusted of a friend or
advisor they are to you, is only a reflection of their
values and opinions, not yours. The whole idea of your
destiny formula for success is that is about YOU. Rely only
upon yourself for the final decision.

A destiny statement allows you to make the most difficult
decisions with ease. This is because each choice has an
outcome that either resonates with the essence of who you
are or does not. Does the choice you are considering align
with your destiny formula for success? Does it drive your
mission forward? The choices that do not resonate with
your essence, you do not make.

One of the major factors of success is learning how to
follow your intuition in the absence of proof or certainty
to a certain person, choice or decision to guide you. For
example, let's say you hire someone for your business but
something does not feel right, something about them bothers
you but you can't quite put your finger on it. Let them go
FAST. Do not question your intuition, just trust it and do
it.

Discover the essence of who you are by noticing what drives
you forward with endless energy and boundless enthusiasm
and make your daily choices of activity accordingly. You
will be taking the first step to creating your own destiny
formula for success so you can experience endless energy,
income and success!

What To Do When Clients Don't Pay -- 6 Strategies to Get Your Money

You're psyched! You just landed a new client who is going
to keep you busy with projects. Life is good.

You love the people, you're really enjoying the work,
things are going great. Everything proceeds along smoothly
for several months until that fateful month where you
submit a large invoice and payment isn't immediate.

"No problem" you think. "Things are a little tight. It
will be paid a little late."

What are your options when a client doesn't - or can't -
pay you?

There are several things you can do when a client doesn't
pay you. Before you start down the path however, you need
to think about what type of future, if any, you want with
this client.

1. Gentle reminder.

Your invoice could have been forgotten, misplaced or buried
in a pile on your client's desk. If they have gone past
your due date, email - or call depending on what is most
comfortable for you - a gentle reminder asking them the
status of payment.

If you use QuickBooks or QuickBooks Online, you can also
email a statement directly from the system.

2. Be personal.

If you've reminded the client and no payment has come, it
is time for either another email or a phone call. Your
client may tell you that he is very busy and apologizes
that he "forgot" again.

Explain that cash flow is very important to your small
business and that you can not afford to carry the unpaid
invoice any longer.

Always remember to make it easy for your client to pay you.
Tell him that you are happy be paid via wire, PayPal,
credit card - offer him all the options and be sure that
you have more than just "send a check" available. Make it
as easy as possible.

3. Be the "squeaky wheel".

If your client is having his own cash flow issues, he may
need to make hard choices about who gets paid when. By
being the "squeaky wheel", you insure that you are at the
forefront of his mind when he is paying bills.

4. Cut him off.

As hard as it is, sometimes you need to tell the client -
even though you've become friends - that you can not do any
additional work until your invoices are paid in full.

As a small business owner, you are responsible for the
running of your business and, as a result, there are times
when you need to make tough decisions that are best for
your business. You can't afford to work without
compensation and your client should understand that.

5. Get tough.

You've tried being gentle. You've tried being personal.
And you've squeaked so many times that you're tired of
hearing your own voice. Now it's time to put that prepaid
legal plan to use!

Have your attorney send a formal letter stating that if you
are not paid, in full, within X number of days, that you
will either take the client to small claims court (the
normal limit is between $2,000 and $7,500 - it varies by
state in the U.S.) or to arbitration. Whether you sue or
go to arbitration depends on the contract you have with
your client as some state that disputes will be arbitrated.

6. Bigger than small claims.

If the client owes you substantially more than the small
claims process will allow you to sue for, you may wish to
sue in a formal state trial court. Debt collection cases
are usually simple and few collection cases actually make
it to trial as most defendants either settle before trial
or fail to show up for court (in which case you would
receive a default judgment).

Chances are if you threaten legal action, your client will
pay up. If he doesn't, you may have to follow through on
your threat. Just remember to make this decision taking
into account how much you are owed, your time for the legal
action and whether or not you ever wish to work with this
client in the future.

Note that if the client never pays you, you *may* be able
to deduct the amount as a "bad debt". See your tax advisor
for more information regarding the bad debt rule.

You want to take collection actions that you are
comfortable with while thinking about how they will affect
your future relationship with the client. Keep in mind
however that you are a small business owner and should be
promptly paid for services rendered and accepted. After
all, you didn't go into business for yourself to work for
free!
