I also have a long-term goal of becoming a professional writer and media producer with my own profitable production company, [...]]]></description>

For example: When I&#8217;m looking for a new place for dinner, I read restaurant reviews. When I&#8217;m booking a trip, I read hotel reviews. When I need a new book about a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to getting things done, some people are happy accomplishing the nearest immediate to-do while others are only happy if they can reach the stars.  And that&#8217;s fair.  To get anything done, you need to find the right manner of personal motivation that works for you. But, ultimately, you have to do something.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before Thanksgiving, I quit doing social marketing for a living, but I haven&#8217;t transitioned to a new job yet.  Instead, I spent the past week not doing anything, on purpose. Sometimes not doing anything is exactly what I need to do so I can better understand what I want to be doing.  (I almost said [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, not really. What I&#8217;m actually quitting is social marketing.  (There&#8217;s a difference.) But there&#8217;s also a reason. See, three months ago, I explained why I&#8217;m ruthlessly downsizing my life.  Although it was partly tongue-in-cheek, that post struck a nerve with a lot of people, and it made me realize that a lot of you [...]]]></description>

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[It really doesn&#8217;t take much to change your life. Sometimes it only takes 30 seconds. Sometimes it takes a shot or two of well-placed bluntness. Sometimes, it just takes a story. Earlier this year, Joe Posnanski shared this memory of Seve Ballesteros. Ballesteros was driving all over the course when he saw Ian Woosnam looking [...]]]></description>
