Invoicing 👎

If you dislike invoicing and genuinely want to minimise it (or escape it entirely)… one way is to start getting comfortable using these things:

• Yes it’s tricky with a service-based business;
• Yes it’s hard to figure out fixed-pricing when every project is so different;
• Yes Stripe fees are painful (and even more so when it calculates your tax for you 😳)

For me, switching away from invoicing literally saved several hours per month (some of that time was procrastination when I should have been working on invoicing, so a win inside of a win).

I spent some of that time getting familiar with Stripe, and now spend some of that time creating payment links in Stripe, testing them, building “Thank You” pages… so I didn’t win all of that time back entirely, but the difference is hours every month with invoicing, vs around 15 minutes per product (which is not something I add every month).

You do it by starting with just one fixed-price product.
