Hit invoice number 1,000 and my template finally snapped
I run a small bookkeeping service for restaurants and last Tuesday I sent out invoice number 1,000, which felt like a real milestone. Then I noticed my payment reminder email had the wrong link to the portal, something I'd been copying for months without checking. Three clients called me within an hour asking why they couldn't pay, and one said, "You've done this 999 times before, right?" It was funny in a tragic way, but it also forced me to build a checklist for every send. Has anyone else hit a big number like that and immediately found a stupid mistake you'd been repeating the whole time?
