		<description><![CDATA[In my work as a booking agent for business owners who use speaking as a way to build their business, I have the privilege of writing (or rewriting) their bios which are used as their introductions when they speak. Often a client is apologetic when they give me their information, as if they&#8217;re ashamed that their career didn&#8217;t follow a<a href="http://wbodc.org/2012/05/how-did-i-get-here/" rel="nofollow"> [..Read More]</a>]]></description>

There are hundreds of books, thousands of websites and lots of non-profit organizations like SCORE and college classes on entrepreneurship to teach you the basics. In addition to all the information, I believe there are three key elements you must have in order to succeed as an entrepreneur: You<a href="http://wbodc.org/2012/04/takingtheplunge/" rel="nofollow"> [..Read More]</a>]]></description>

It can be frustrating dealing with gatekeepers, receptionists, and executive assistants. Not to mention that decision makers seldom return voice mail messages.<a href="http://wbodc.org/2012/03/brrrthecoldcall/" rel="nofollow"> [..Read More]</a>]]></description>

Unfortunately, when you&#8217;re first starting out or struggling through the first couple of years, &#8220;profit&#8221; can seem like an elusive concept.
