The idea for startup comes from serial entrepreneur Brandon Cotter, now ZenCash CEO, who says he realized the need for more automation in the invoicing and collections process after having spent hours calling customers in an attempt to collect money his small business was owed.

To use the new service, a customer connects ZenCash to their current invoicing system, and sets up what’s called an “Action Timeline.” This is basically the follow-up plan for the various stages of invoicing, and it extends beyond collections. The system can also send out a “thank you for your business” note, reminders when invoices are about to be due, reminders for when the invoice becomes overdue, and it can even place phone calls on the businesses’ behalf.

After the invoice remains past due for a set amount of time (as determined by your own company’s procedures), ZenCash can also automate the process of sending the invoice to third-party collections. And when all other traditional collections methods end up failing, ZenCash can then connect customers to a network of attorneys who can initiate legal proceedings on their behalf.

The idea, while obviously a great fit for small business owners, is also useful for early stage startups,says investor Gabriella Draney, the managing partner of Dallas-based Tech Wildcatters, a seed accelerator program. She explains that it can help grow a startup’s business-to-business relationships at the very beginning, freeing up founders to focus on product.

“There is a complete disconnect between thinking about building a business and then thinking about, very much at the later stage, actually collecting a check,” she says. “One of the best ways to reinforce a customer relationship, I think, is by saying ‘thanks.’”

The eight-person team behind ZenCash are spread out, with folks in Dallas, San Diego, Spain and Romania. The service is currently bootstrapped, with a $500K investment from the founder.

For now, the pricing for ZenCash is a la carte – there’s no setup fee and customers will only pay for the services they use. ZenCash, it should be noted however, is U.S.-only at launch.

Check it out! What you you think of this new tool?

Do What You Are Good At: In order to make more cash now, you need to identify those 5 things that you do really well that will allow you to make lots of money and delegate the rest. Too many people spend too much time doing what they don't want to do or what they don't have to do.  Are you?

Service-Based Businesses are Booming: No overhead, fast cash, based on your gifts - there is no quicker way to make money than with a service based business. Find out which ones are seeing HUGE growth.

Real Estate is still Hot, Hot, Hot: If you haven't noticed, half of America is on a massive garage sale right now. Land, commercial properties, residential, it's all on sale for less than it's worth.  If you are on the buying side, now is your time.

Small Businesses are the Ones Hiring Americans Back: Small businesses and entrepreneurship is the way to go. Not only are you less likely to be standing in that unemployment line, you are more likely to be able to hire help and improve this country's unemployment situation. Take your skills and learn to make some money.

What are your intentions for your life? When I started writing this book, my intention was always to be a bestseller. I put it out there. I have had books that have been bestsellers before (four times before in fact) but this one is really special because I am seeing the ripple effect of it throughout the world.  I saw it as soon as we started pre-selling the book and I am seeing it now in book stores.  It's that light in people's eyes... that acknowledgement that they are holding some special ideas in their hands and their excitement to start consuming those ideas.

What is your project? What project do YOU have that is going to light up the world? I know you have one.  I know you do and I know you have what it takes to make it a reality and live that wild, wonderful, BIG life you deserve. Whatever it is, go after it.  Go, go, go and don't let anyone stop you from achieving your EVERY dream.  Because I will tell you, the only person who can stop you in this world is YOU, no one else.

Go out and LIVE with Yes! Energy.  Today and every day is YOUR day!

And thank you again for helping make this game changer a bestseller.  New York Times list - here we come!
