I'm canadian. we apologize to somebody if they slip and fall when we had nothing to do with it. I'm still apologizing for how the battle of hastings turned out.

Its not a financial burden yet, just an annoyance. my higher rate/bigger projects are always on time. its the smaller ones that aren't. I might just stop doing anything that's less than 2 grand in total (time and materials, vs project rate)
- run4yourlives 15y agoI'm Canadian too, but at some point, you need to "man up". I'd say you don't need to stop doing smaller projects, but you need to stop pricing them so small. Figure out all the time and effort it's taking you for collections and add that to every project under a minimum amount. The idea is not to win every project, you can do that by charging $5/hour. The idea is to win the right projects.
- orenmazor 15y agoyeah, you're right. I've definitely gotten much better both at pricing myself appropriately and refusing to do things I dont like (i.e. I hate joomla, so I refuse to do joomla contracts, or ask for a great deal of money). I'm just annoyed and looking for a silver bullet, which there is none.
