		<title>Repeat Business and Lifetime Customer Value</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you buy something from me one time for $10, that represents $10 of value to me. And that is where most business owners stop. However, if you come in my shop 4 times a month and do so for a year, that is $480 you represent to me.
Once you look at it like this, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Credit Cards, Redux (It is still not about you)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I wrote about my frustration that I could not find a small business that would sell me breakfast and let me pay with my debit card. I want to riff on that for a moment, if you don&#8217;t mind.
If you run a business, you have the right to decide up front how you want [...]]]></description>

		<title>It Is Not About You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like breakfast. A Lot.
About twice a week, I will throw the latest book I am reading into the messenger bag and head off to a greasy spoon, Mom and Pop diner to get some scrambled eggs, sausage, grits and toast.
This morning was such a morning. However, because my regular place was closed due to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seth Godin was a CB Nerd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like Seth Godin. A Lot. So I was excited when I found an interview with him that I was unaware of, and even more excited when I saw it was not a rehash of his standard fare. There is solid gold here, with him broaching subjects I have never heard him talk about before&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is There no Alternative to PayPal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As someone who makes all (or virtually all) of his income online, I am dependent upon PayPal. It is the online currency of the internet, for better or worse.
The frustrating thing is that there is NO alternative to PayPal. Not a real alternative, anyway. Why? Market share.
According to eBay (who owns PayPal), over 90% of [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Does The Future Hold?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I have learned a lot over the past few years I have been blogging. For example,  I have learned how to drive local customers to a store with a blog and how to market yourself and achieve your goals through blogging. Pretty much any success I am now enjoying professionally is a direct [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Reports Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exagerated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About 2 months ago, I tackled about 7 big projects all at once, the biggest being a move across the country to Raleigh, North Carolina. It has been an interesting ride&#8230;
I will be open and honest with you: I almost quite this blog. It may have seemed to so of you as if I HAD [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Lot Has Changed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I am sure you have noticed by now, there are lots of changes going on here.
We have a new url, a new theme, a new mission, heck, a new name.
I have about 10 posts lined out, but want to make sure there are no hiccups with the new design. I will be testing throughout [...]]]></description>

		<title>Working on some things here&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, there is a lot changing here. (If you are on RSS, you will want to click through to see what I mean&#8230;)
Some of this is what I was alluding to last week, and some of it is new. I am still tweaking and testing, but all the internal links should be working&#8230;

		<title>Talking &#8216;Bout A Revolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life has a way of changing.  It was John Lennon who said that life is what happens while we make other plans, and the older I get, the more I think John was right.  As I look back across the winding road that has led me to this point, I see many places [...]]]></description>
