The Dirty Part Nobody Talks About
You finish creating an amazing meal plan for a client. You've spent hours analyzing their needs, considering their allergies, preferences, and health goals. You send it over, feeling proud of the work. Then you wait. And wait. Days turn into weeks. "I'll pay you next week," they promise. But next week comes and goes. You're now in the uncomfortable position of being both a dietitian and a debt collector.
This is the dirty part of being a freelancer that nobody wants to talk about. Handling money is awkward, uncomfortable, and time-consuming. But it's necessary for your business to survive.
The Endless Cycle of Chasing Payments
You send an invoice. A week later, you send a reminder. Another week passes, and you send another "friendly" reminder. Eventually, you have to send a more direct message. It's uncomfortable. You feel like you're being pushy or demanding, but you've done the work—you deserve to be paid. Meanwhile, you're spending hours each week just following up on payments instead of helping new clients.
You're working for free, one client at a time.
Every hour you spend chasing payments is unpaid time. And every client who doesn't pay on time is essentially getting free work from you. This eats into your profits and makes your business unsustainable.
The Awkward Conversation Nobody Wants
Asking for money is uncomfortable. You went into nutrition to help people, not to have difficult conversations about bills. But when a client hasn't paid, you have to bring it up. It changes the dynamic of your relationship. Suddenly, you're not just their helpful dietitian—you're also the person asking them for money. It's awkward, and it can damage the trust you've built with your client.
Money conversations poison relationships.
Even if the client eventually pays, the relationship might never recover. They might feel embarrassed or resentful. You might feel resentful too. It's a lose-lose situation that could have been avoided.
The Problem: No Built-In Payment System
When you work independently, there's no automatic payment system. You send an invoice, hope they pay, and manually track everything. There's no way to require payment upfront, no automatic reminders, no seamless payment processing. You're essentially running a small business with manual processes that don't scale.
Manual payment handling doesn't scale.
As you grow your client base, manually handling payments becomes a full-time job. You can't focus on helping clients when you're constantly managing invoices, tracking payments, and sending reminders.
