Well, this was awkward

What happens when you are working with a client on an Interior Decorating or Design project and they suddenly refuse to pay you?

Today I’m sharing a real client experience of that exact scenario which happened to me a few years ago.

As I always like to be real and provide as much value as I can when sharing these types of stories, you’ll also learn:

How long I was in business when this happened
How the client found me
The scope and cost of the project
Events leading up to our final visit
What I did when the client refused to pay me

Yup, you do not wanna miss this!

Key takeaways and learning points:

Always have a signed contract that you review with your clients project to commencing design services.
Never be out of pocket for services or when selling products.
Don’t beat yourself up. Learn from the experience and move on.
