		<description><![CDATA[The big media is talking about big dollars, big companies, and big bailout packages.  Sub-prime mortgage backed securities, money market mutual fund savings, and now commercial paper have all been at the center of the conversation of the current credit crisis in the US and, in recent days, worldwide. 
To some, the credit crisis is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently at a small business conference in Chicago I attended a few different seminars on marketing, promotion and branding.  Being a self proclaimed finance geek, I find it is helpful to step outside of my natural habitat to broaden my knowledge base, and the best place for me to do that is by exploring marketing concepts.

		<description><![CDATA[
There is blood in the streets of America&#8217;s businesses both small and large.  On Wall Street, the collapse of financial institutions, the bailouts of Freddie, Fannie, Bear Sterns and now AIG.  500 point daily drops in the Dow Jones Industrial Average with investors fleeing to cash and US treasuries.  Sure there has been the rapid decline [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, I co-funded the start-up of a pizza restaurant, in a city near my own, with a friend I&#8217;ve known since high school.  At the end of this month that restaurant will no longer be mine.  Despite breaking even, we have decided that it is time to move on to better things. 
The end, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love listening to a good story&#8230;especially ones about entrepreneurs and their path to eventual success.    The woman or man who turned nothing into something, who did it quickly, and without the help of others, AKA the &#8220;rags to riches&#8221; story.
I think there is a yearning in every entrepreneur who hears these stories to identify with the subject and imagine how it could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably one of the most uncomfortable things a first time entrepreneur has to attempt is their first set of financial projections.  Frequently I hear the following:

&#8220;Well&#8230;I don&#8217;t know how many people will buy from me!&#8221;
&#8220;I just took a WAG (wild ass guess).&#8221;
&#8220;This is so stupid&#8230;why am I doing this!&#8221;
