Past Due Went Up $250k

Improving customer payment habits now has lasting impact. Offer small incentives for early payment…. a 1–2% discount for settling invoices before year-end can be worth it if it accelerates cash. At the same time, enforce clear boundaries with late payers. Don’t extend further credit to customers who are already behind. You have to protect your business at the end of the day, always remember that.

Your message should be consistent when dealing with your customers who owe you money: cash flow is a priority. Clear terms, timely reminders, and strong follow-through build a culture of payment discipline.

Tomorrow, we’ll take a step into the daily grind with a simple but powerful habit — daily cash checks.
