  One of my favorites. Actually where I developed this mentality from.

  This video was the first thing I thought of when I read the article! I once worked for someone who refused to pay me for my work and at first I didn't want to sue him because of several BS excuses: - I never sued anyone before. - He seemed like a nice guy. - It was the first time I worked for him but he wasn't a total stranger to me - He had offered me work before so I figured he's someone who's probably going to ask for my services again some time in the future. - I knew he had worked with other people and I never heard them say bad things about the guy. - It wasn't a lot of money. Turns out this guy did it to everyone I talked to! How did they get paid ? By taking a haircut! One guy didn't take a haircut but he did for a future project. He needed the money. I'm not here to tell others what they should do but have some self-respect. I sued him and I'm glad I did. He didn't get a discount at all. My lawyer doesn't come cheap, nor do interest payments. Would I put that guy's name online? No. Invest your time in a good contract. Ask a percentage upfront. Watch the video.
