Keep it as short as possible and don't waste his precious time. He's doing YOU a favor.]]></description>

Anyone can make money and tell stories and lie and preach and chase dreams and do evil and get into all sorts of trouble; all in this boundless unmonitored field of work and play. Everyone has access to it; and it's virtually free. This must not be.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I totally agree that training for coaches is so important. But it seems odd to me that someone who may have no or very little experience as a small business owner would be dishing out advice. That reminds me of the person who has big opinions on child rearing; yet has no children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Respect your customers by acknowledging that you don’t know better than them. Use their generous input to help shape your company’s future or, if you disagree, provide a point from which to “continue the conversation.” Your business may look different from what you originally envisioned, but you will gain the goodwill of potential clients and customers who are looking for integrity in their vendors, shopkeepers, and consultants.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find this keeps creativity on two wheels, sort of in mid careen, so that the next day it's not so difficult to get going again. Delayed gratification of finishing a thing keeps your creative edge a little sharper, and if all you have to do is finish one small part, it's all downhill from there, right?
