How to Collect Outstanding Invoices before 2012
We all have them. Stories about how long it took to get paid. For creative business owners it can take months and months to see receipts come in long after a project is complete, in the clients hands and active.

TechWeek Chicago 2011 Reflections
Tomorrow I’ll be doing my “BarbWired” report for Chicagonistalive, a live internet show. We’ll be broadcasting online at 2:00pm cst from Willis Tower Skydeck, at 103 stories up [updated location]. TechWeek Chicago is my feature story.
As a #TeckWk VIP, I got complimentary admission thanks to a Klout perk. Disclosure: http://cmp.ly/2/va. Although TechWeek events and sessions spanned several days, due to speaking engagements and other commitments, I only attended the opening party and most of day one.

My goal, here, is to give you a sense of the depth and diversity of topics – all with a light touch.
