Have you ever given a customer credit… just because you didn't want to lose them?
Almost every business owner has extended credit because saying no felt like losing the customer entirely. It's not a mistake. Selling on credit is a normal part of doing business. The real issue is when your "yes" isn't backed by any system and there isn't an agreed amount, date and record of what's actually owed.
Sometimes it works out. Sometimes "tomorrow" becomes a balance you've lost track of.
