The reasons vary. You don't have time. The project may not be something you enjoy. The lead may give off a difficult vibe. Or, other times, the reason is that the would-be client lacks the budget, and expects too much, for too little (they may simply not understand the going rate for your services). The scope of the project may be outside your area of specialty. [/vc_column_text][heading animation_iteration="1" type="2" bottom_margin="nomarb" align="aligncenter"] Not Your Specialty[/heading][vc_column_text]If you simply cannot do the work, because it's not your area of expertise, or it's not a task you want to learn…

It is not shy to take the lead. Google has announced that everybody with a website should add HTTP Encryption - even those that don't take credit cards.
