Payment Plans Accepted

By Abe Newmeyer, September 9, 2022

Work & BusinessGratitude & Perspective

Some clients have unlimited credit based on past performance. Others, we require a full payment upfront before work begins. Others, the vast majority work on a predetermined payment plan. A certain percentage as a retainer with additional payments needed as various project stages are completed.

The point is every client has unique situations. Most are similar in scope, but my clients needs are unique, or at least the client feels as if their circumstances are happening only to themselves. With that being said, I work to treat each circumstance on its own merits. Based on past performance, specifically with payments, determines how we move forward. It determines my willingness to extend or amend our current agreement.

Today, Friday, September 9, 2022, I am grateful that:

D.C. sent over some more work and a partial payment. The timing was perfect. I was on my last. Now I only have to wait until the bank transfer completes.

Isaiah and I got a chance to have a conversation yesterday. Great guy, well educated, focused. All traits needed to go far in life and accomplish his purpose.

Herb and I spoke yesterday. I’m usually better after our conversations and yesterday was no different. Happy for the sage counsel of one a bit further down the path.

Use discernment in dealing with others. Your manager, your clients, your spouse, your children. In the words of St. Francis of Assassi “...seek to understand than to be understood.”

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
