Hey, I was wondering if i could get some wisdom for you guys. I run a small business from my home, don't really have any mentors or people to get advice from, just me. One of my clients came to me last year to do some work for them, we agreed it was for x amount (which really would've helped me and my family over this period) and to send them the invoice. I sent the payment request and never heard back from them, no replies to a few emails i sent (nothing desperate just a follow up)
My question is this, they just asked me for new different work. my monkey brain is telling me not to reply or to tell them I'm overly busy and cannot fulfil the work at present.
Should i do this? Im thinking if i go ahead and send this new invoice then they are going to do the same again as before, or if i go ahead it makes me look weak (by getting one over previously)
thanks!
