I think Teli hit the nail on the head - pretty close anyway.

I think it's not so much my relationship with $ but my biz thats the problem. I love helping people and I love what I do so much it doesn't feel like work. When I used to be in upper management on salary I used to give WAY too much free advice and consulting away - so I guess it's partly habit and makes it hard to ask in advance to be paid for something I love doing and would probably do for free if I could afford to. (I know I'm weird.) I left corporate Amercia to do this biz and am SO blessed to be doing what I am doing and billing just feels so corporate. But no matter how you slice it biz clients dont pay until they are invoiced, so I just need to do it.
