		<title>What Do Your Business Cards Say About You?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot can be envisioned on that blank space. A business card is literally a clean slate, a fresh start. The design options are only limited by your creativity &#8211; if you make them yourself &#8211; or by how much you’re willing to spend to have them designed.

		<title>How to Show Your Clients a Little Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post, I talked about how to break up with clients that weren’t meeting your needs or didn’t fit into your business plan.
If that went well, you’re now left with clients you love working for. Shouldn’t you let them know?
