		<title>Simple Rules for Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a great article on Fast Company about 37Signals&#8217; new book, 13 Simple Rules for Success in Business. Fast Company has laid out some of the suggestions that 37Signals discuss, and they&#8217;re illustrated!  My favourite pointer is #1: Workaholism.  Workaholics aren&#8217;t heroes!  The book suggests that workaholics don&#8217;t actually get more done than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buzzmarketing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my all time favourite books is Buzzmarketing by Mark Hughes.  He describes the power of selling products by word of month rather than traditional advertising.  The main function of buzzmarketing is to create a message relating to your product that is so entertaining, newsworthy, and fascinating that viewers will tell more people, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t keep postponing the unpleasant stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just got off the phone with a client who is in hot water because they kept postponing dealing with a tax issue.  It wasn&#8217;t that big a deal 6 months ago, but it is now a crisis.  And their justification &#8211; &#8220;I hate dealing with this tax stuff!&#8221;  Really?  Hands up out there, all [...]]]></description>
