		<title>Team Cohesion and Building Great Things Quickly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something caught my eye the other day that I thought had a very important message to all entrepreneurs and small business owners everywhere; true team cohesion and an ability to build things at a quick pace that a team is enthusiastic about. This is a feat that is not a simple task. Too many companies these days have difficulty allowing their teams to work together in creative and empowering ways, and often default to a lower level of efficiency because their teams are not enthusiastic about their jobs. In fact, ...]]></description>

		<title>You won&#8217;t be bought by Google, so Quit Fooling Yourself; you need a sound financial model!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow, countless startups are still getting funded by investors without financial business models that are sound, proven, or even make sense. Even a couple of my colleagues have questionable businesses that have received infusions from angels and VCs (although, the products they&#8217;ve built seem brilliantly designed). Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m happy that all of these entrepreneurs are able to get funding. In some ways, it seems reminiscent of the dot-com-bomb days &#8212; lots of money flowing on interesting ideas, but no way to capitalize on them. I&#8217;m sure that ...]]></description>

		<title>Be Who You Are, You Silly Entrepreneur You!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently stumbled across a free e-Book written by Michael Simmons and Sheena Lindahl, of Extreme Entrepreneurship Education Corp fame. They&#8217;ve been acknowledged by ABC, NBC, CBS, and Business Week for their efforts to reach out and educate budding young entrepreneurs. While their e-Book is mostly written for a college audience, I thought there was quite a bit of value in their message for the rest of us. Here&#8217;s a piece of the introduction in their e-Book:
You know who you are. Ambitious, entrepreneurial, goal-oriented, values-driven, persistent, self-starter, etc. You can’t ...]]></description>
