NOBODY PUTS BONNY IN A CORNER.
Made of awesome.
Cashmere - Jake K. is an alum of a writing workshop I'm going to in the fall. I really like his work and he's been helpful with advice about what to expect. It's wild to see him tweeting with you, though just in a world-bumpy way, not in a world-collidey way.
AKA, you should be making THE BIG BUCKS. Asking you to be the public face of a business for $20/hour? Frankly, it's insulting.
Wait, I do have some advice! Being asked to be the public face of the business, capitalizing on your existing work and name - that ALONE is worth more than $20/hr.
Be careful you don't end up becoming her de facto therapist/shoulder to cry on/Rock of Gibraltar, too.
I am already this.
I sincerely believe that she is not trying to take advantage of me, not in an evil way, at least. I DO fear that she will be super resistant to being educated to the reality of what she is asking.
Her walkers, depending on how motivated they are, can make up to $60 per hour...A pack of 4 dogs at $15 for a half hour walk.
Zen ;)
yes it is.
it most definitely is.
Jilli, I wished you and Pete calm~ma over in Natter, because I no longer know which thread I'm in.
bonny,
can you get any estimates from other companies about how much these kind of services typically cost? maybe some google searches can point you to salary levels?

Uh, let her be resistant. She can be resistant while you're off doing other things for more money.

I saw! Thank you very much. Things are a bit calmer around here, thank goodness.

Dana is SMART.
Maria, I hope you are not joking because you HAVE to know that this town is the epicenter of need for that particular business.
I just consulted to an gentleman who is negotiating a (gulp) 58 million smackeroo contract deal to rescue a traditional manufacturing firm from certain death. He needed an emotional strategy because his 'you should bow to my credentials!' strategy was not working.
It was so FUN!
Honestly, I would give anything to be Counselor Troi for an organization that values quality of life issues and paid decently.
Like Zappos. I an green with envy...and it's not a good color on me...over Zappos' in-house life coach.
I want that job!
