Can I quote you on that? 

I gauge my ideas on if they fit with my brand and the key elements of Boss Mom. - Dana You gauge your ideas against what is important to you, and if they don't match up, you shelve the idea. - Dana I want to be true to the process that I have created for creation. - Dana If you have a good idea, you should pursue it until you can no longer pursue it. - NJ Don't ever not do something because someone else is doing it. It's your voice, your perspective. - NJ
