Find customers, make great things, help people, and learn to manage your money. Unlike an employee, you find your own customers and pay your own business costs.
Make customers happy, do great work, build a good reputation, and save enough cash for slow days.
🧾 Invoice ≠ money in the bank. Some customers pay later!
All prices, pay rules and scenarios are simplified CAD game examples.
Moving ahead pays daily overhead and moves invoices toward their due date. It does not create sales automatically.
Website clients pay a 20% deposit when they accept the estimate, and the remaining 80% after 30, 60, or 90 days. Other invoice types follow their own rules.
You wear many hats: do the work, tell people about it, buy supplies, and keep up your skills.
Keep cash and profit separate. Unpaid invoices are not cash.
