		<description><![CDATA[Used car salesmen, insurance salesmen, financial advisers, lawyers, and&#8230;realtors. Why don&#8217;t we trust them? For me, it has to do with statements contained in articles like this; &#8220;&#8216;Home sales in August were down slightly compared to last year, but with home prices continuing to go down and mortgage interest rates remaining at record lows, there [...]]]></description>

In my case, five freakin&#8217; months. I guess that shows you how much I depend on fax technology. Here&#8217;s how it all happened&#8230; MWI [...]]]></description>

We started negotiating to try and come to a deal. And then I made a mistake. I assumed we would get a deal done&#8230;soon. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny how you get an idea of how something could be done better, only to find out you&#8217;re completely wrong. A few years ago I started working on the idea for The SEO Consultants. The idea was fairly simple&#8211;a lot of small businesses can&#8217;t afford search engine optimization services at a price tag of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I got a loan to start my business. Not just one, either. Lots of them. Looking back it makes me wonder if having a good credit score is all it&#8217;s cracked up to be. I&#8217;ve started the same business twice. The first time was in 1999, when I started Mindwire Interactive. &#8220;Investors&#8221; put in [...]]]></description>

I could have done some minimal search engine optimization to get the site ranking for the term &#8220;radiohead&#8221; which would [...]]]></description>

The thought process tends to go like this&#8211;Well, we&#8217;re good at this, and this, and this, and this, and we&#8217;re not so good at this but we can do it so we&#8217;ll tell people we do it, and we can [...]]]></description>
