I've wondered the same thing. I lost a few of my smaller, lower paying clients last year before the recession was really official. One client that was slow paying has become extremely slow paying. I'm also not seeing as many new clients. However, three clients are requesting even more of my services than last year - so that has cushioned me. Great post!
