Dee Bowden is the founder of BCS Solutions, and author of the book Collect the Cash. She works with small businesses who want to solve their cashflow problem. Her mission is to keep businesses in business. After collecting $6 million in 60 days while working for a small IT company, she realized small businesses had fallen prey to revenue loss because they don't collect outstanding debt. She's been featured in Forbes, Enterprise, and Thriving Global Magazine. One of the strategies she uses is reciting affirmations. For more information, find her at CollectTheCash.biz.

"There needs to be a paradigm shift - as confident as you are to ask for the sale, you have to be just as confident to ask for the cash." – Dee Bowden
