		<description>I agree with you that this is a problem. In the &quot;business to business&quot; format in particular, it can be difficult to do two things: see your customer as a customer and not a colleague, and be paid for something that may or may not be tangible depending on your market. I experienced similar situations being in a rock band. But obviously being paid needs to happen or you can&#039;t continue. This is great advice for new entrepreneurs trying to develop good work habits that help things run efficiently.</description>
