For the record, I don’t eat lobster. I DO eat meat, but nothing that is cooked — literally — alive. No judgement, it’s just not in me. But, my day on Facebook today reminded me of that sad sight of lobsters fighting for their very life. Entrepreneurs HOPPING UP (with extended claw) clawing for just

DANGER ZONE: THIS IS HOW IT’S ALWAYS BEEN DONE.
One of our Women Who WOW members reached out to me about a new prospective client. The member was creating a proposal with (of course) more than one option for the prospect to pick a way to proceed.
