Amber Lilyestrom on how to reduce default payments from clients

Have you ever had a client suddenly stop paying you?

It can be terrifying and so easy to slip into panic and worry.

You e-mail them and wonder if you’ll ever hear back from them again.

You leave them a voicemail and wonder if they’re dodging you.

You wonder if that little red flag about working with them that came up in your discovery call that you shoved down because you could really use the income is now haunting you.

It’s normal to freak out when clients suddenly stop paying you. (BTW, you wouldn’t be normal as an entrepreneur or biz owner if you didn’t freak out.)

When clients stop paying, you worry you won’t be able to pay for your biz or have enough money for your house bills. Your stomach drops and you feel like you could throw up.

So what do you do?

I’ve invited Amber Lilyestrom to be a guest on the podcast to talk about this very topic.

During our conversation, Amber shared a story about when a client suddenly stopped paying her.

Amber explains what she did to keep her client in the energy of making payments rather than completely “ghosting” her forever.

I think you’ll find her story helpful – especially the part about how she found a way to stay in alignment as a coach (and show up with compassion rather than freak out) when her client missed a payment.

If you want to know about one way to address clients when they go from thinking you’re the best coach/entrepreneur on the planet to flat-out ignoring your emails and pretending your messages are going to spam, then you’ll want to tune in.
