Sarah was a freelance designer crushing it. $10K months consistently. Then she checked her records and nearly threw up. 23 unpaid invoices. Some from 6 months ago. Clients she completely forgot about because she was "too busy" to invoice right away. She tried calling. Half didn't remember the project. "Can you send documentation?" they'd ask. She had nothing organized. The worst part? It was 100% her fault. She'd finish a project, promise herself "I'll invoice tomorrow," then get distracted by the next client. That's when she realized: her invoicing system was killing her business. She needed something that would: * Auto-remind her to invoice * Look professional (not a Word doc) * Track what's paid vs. unpaid * Take 2 minutes, not 20 She tried a few tools and found these ones helpful: EasyBillBuilder, Wave, and InvoiceSimple . Game changer. Now she invoices within 24 hours. Every time. Her unpaid invoice rate dropped from 29% to under 5%. If you're a freelancer/small business owner and you're "too busy" to invoice properly, you're not too busy. You're losing money.
