When the Money Gets Weird

Writing payment terms that avoid awkward conversations

(A workshop for creatives who want to get paid without the guilt)

You love your clients…until money talk gets weird

You’ve sent the invoice. You wait. You nudge. And suddenly, that friendly collaboration feels tense.

You know you should have stronger payment terms, but every time you try to write them, they sound cold, stiff, or way too corporate.

So you keep winging it. And hoping this client will “just pay on time.”

Meanwhile, your cash flow’s unpredictable, your stress level’s high, and every project equals uncomfortable money conversations.

You’re tired of feeling desperate or “pushy” when all you’re asking for is to be paid for your work.

You shouldn’t have to choose between being nice and being paid.

But when your payment terms are vague, projects stall, invoices go unpaid, and clients don’t respect your boundaries. It’s stressful to chase payments or explain your rates after the work is done.

Clear terms don’t make you sound rigid; they make your business easier to run.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create payment terms that feel clear, confident, and totally aligned with your creative business, no stiff legalese required.

You’ll discover:

  • How to write clear payment terms (including deposits and installment plans)
  • How to handle late fees and project pauses gracefully
  • Why unclear terms cause tension (and how to fix that)
  • How to audit and update your payment terms so they actually protect your time and income

By the end, you’ll have straightforward language that protects your cash flow and supports your client relationships. You’ll know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to stand behind your terms with confidence.

Because clear payment terms don’t make you sound corporate, they make your business sustainable.

You’ll walk away with more than just words on paper. You’ll walk away with confidence, clarity, and boundaries that actually stick.
