Sure, it sounds ridiculous, but consider adding the lighthearted phrase to all of your contracts and invoices, "Pay every debt as if God wrote the bill." Do you think you'd get more clients to pay on time?
Thank Ralph Waldo Emerson for the quote.

Wow! how refreshingly insightful, My husband challenged an employer once with a similar edict when he refused to pay on time!! I am an emerging textile designer and only stumbled on your blog as a result of searching for a more up to date way of writing a Rationale (I know, don't even ask).I was so stoked by the content of your articles, really thought provoking and enriching, have a good day tomorrow,
Cheers
