		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an unspoken but obvious truth in social media: if you want to be popular in the social media field, you need to make social media that&#8217;s about social media. Which seems asinine, doesn&#8217;t it? By comparison, if the only movies playing at your multiplex were movies about making movies, you probably wouldn&#8217;t have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vincent van Gogh was a brilliant painter who died penniless because he wasn&#8217;t a brilliant salesman. Sound familiar? You&#8217;re probably no van Gogh (let&#8217;s be honest), but you do have talents.  You&#8217;re good at some things, and you may even be great at something.  But unless one of the things you&#8217;re good at is convincing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned recently, I talk a lot about procrastination and distraction because that&#8217;s currently my big stumbling block.  Judging by the comments on those posts, I&#8217;m not alone.
