The long and short of it, is if you are in business for yourself you are going to be chasing people to cut you checks and make empty promises to pay invoices your whole career.

Hell, people can't pay their utility bills on time in their own homes, you really expect them to pay their invoices on time in business? My father in law runs a process serving agency in North Jersey (I work for him for some side work), and his job basically as boss of the company is to do all the service work for law firms, you think he ever gets paid for the jobs in 30 days? Nope.

Attorneys/legal firms don't want to pay any invoices until cases are settled and money is handed out, which means my FIL gets paid last. One firm he does work for still has unpaid work done from 2007! But they will fax him 30 subpoenas on a Thursday afternoon that have to get done in 24 hours because the deposition is on Tuesday. If he told them "I won't do it until I get paid from previous work" he'd lose them as a client.

So goes the cycle of business in this country, work now, get paid later lol.
