		<title>Are you jumping through other people&#8217;s hoops?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I spent the last ten days cruising up and down the west coast with a quick stop in Vegas. Many of the entrepreneurs and professionals I met with this past week came to me to discuss ideas they had for business/career advancement. One thing that almost everyone had in common was this &#8216;process&#8217; that they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contracts. Are they important?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The longer you&#8217;re in business, the less surprised you are by what you see. I remember years ago putting together a business plan for a technology group I was doing a joint venture with. I spent months developing the profit model and after presenting the model to a group of the fellas, I was later [...]]]></description>

		<title>You are so money baby!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello loyal followers. I just completed my Q1 review of this year&#8217;s business experiment. Here is a recap of what we were trying to do:

Have major growth on personal billing side
Bring on new professionals as partners/coaches
Look at more corporate development work (stuff we&#8217;ve done in years past but been unfocussed on due to other shiny [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Facebook Business Page experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Paul Rovers (www.leveragedsolutions.ca) has been educating my thick skull on the various ways to make small steps towards social media. He&#8217;s run some Google Adwords campaigns to show me how it works and suggested last week that I set up a business page for Ghost CEO. It seems only the local coaches are doing anything [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Business Case for First Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last week I spent a couple of days doing training for HSBC Securities in Toronto. As part of our agreement, they flew my first class from Vancouver to Toronto. I am a firm believer of flying first class. Aside from the additional space (which I require at 6&#8242;6&#8243;), there is a business case for flying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all banks are alike &#8211; Umpqua and HSBC leading the revolution.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week, I&#8217;m doing a bunch of work with banks in the US. Many of these institutions have realized (after facing the abyss) that they need to go back to the old school model of banking. Lending money to people that can afford it, supporting their small business clientele and professional, and doing more for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dragon&#8217;s Den injects a dose of reality to would-be entrepreneurs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I like Dragon&#8217;s Den mainly because it gives me a reason to scream at the television. Knocker entrepreneurs overvalue their junior business ideas, show up with no sales, and act like they are on the same level as the dragons. I really like when a moron tells them that they &#8216;are going to miss out&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Advisory Board vs. Board of Directors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a great article in the Times recently about setting up an Advisory Board for your small business. I hear the terms Advisory Board and Board of Directors interchanged all the time and wanted to outline what the differences are and why and Advisory Board can be an exceptional tool for expanding the growth [...]]]></description>
