Managing your Accounts Receivables well so you are paid promptly by your customers can be the difference between operating smoothly and being tight on cash. We recently had a glitch in our accounting system that prevented a bunch of invoices from being sent out. We didn't notice the problem for several weeks, which delayed payments and almost caused us to have to dip into our savings account so we had money to operate. It was a good reminder that in business invoicing clients and staying on top of your receivables is extremely important. So here you go, I hope you like it.
What To Expect From Episode 115If you have listened to this podcast for very long, you probably know that I also own a factoring company, iThrive Funding. Factoring companies are usually pretty good at managing receivables and I think iThrive Funding does an exceptional job at it.

Impact TipDo something today that will strengthen your personal finances. Why do you put your oxygen mask on before your child’s, even though it is kind of counter intuitive. If you don’t take care of yourself first (If you’re not strong) you can’t help anyone. Same goes for finances. Your personal finances are the adult and your business is your kid. If you can’t manage your personal finances, you aren’t going to be able to manage your much more complicated business finances. If you have bad personal spending habits, your personal finances are going to bleed your business dry. Make sure your house is in order.
