		<description><![CDATA[Decision time.&#160; 
The building of the site is coming along, but plateauing somewhat.&#160; I&#8217;m reaching what I think is the extent of my knowledge as far as the coding goes, in a time when I need to add some features and functionality to really make the site work well.
Last night, I heard Donny Deutsch say [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=20&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Up against a wall &#8211; anyone know PHP?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, all was going well.  Visual design is underway with an outsourced contractor.  I&#8217;ve built 85% of the site functionality.  Everything is going to plan, everything is going smoothly.
Until today.  Today I realized I left out a pretty major piece of functionality.  My website deals with one group posting projects, and another group finding those [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=19&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Visual design about to begin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back to updates about the site I&#8217;m developing.
I&#8217;ve been feverishly writing the PHP/MySQL to make this thing go.  Luckily, I&#8217;m about 85% there with regard to functionality.  There are a few small gaps, but they&#8217;re not mission critical at this point.
The big issue at stake now is the visual design.  I&#8217;ve known since day one [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=18&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Discipline.  Get some.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a conversation with a friend recently about those new LED billboards on you&#8217;re seeing popping up along the interstate.  She was complaining about how they&#8217;re too distracting, and to those who are visually stimulated (who isn&#8217;t &#8211; it&#8217;s why TV works), they&#8217;re very dangerous.  She insisted they should be illegal.
Illegal?  Geez, bit of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=17&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What you are vs. What you do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve got a problem.  We&#8217;ve got a serious &#8220;passion crisis&#8221; in this country and across the world.  Most of us, well&#8230;we don&#8217;t even think we should have a passion.  Think it&#8217;s crazy?  Well, it is.  It&#8217;s also reversible.
Looking across the landscape of American workers (this includes anyone doing something to make money), a vast majority [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=16&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A few reading recommendations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you want to be successful, you&#8217;ve got to read.  Period.  It&#8217;s been said that you can judge a man&#8217;s wealth and success by the size of his library.  Dan Miller notes that in wealthy households, there are shelves of books, where in poor households there are simply large TVs.   Charlie &#8220;Tremendous&#8221; Jones, author [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=15&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;m here to do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m been doing a lot of reading and thinking over the past few weeks &#8211; and finally, I&#8217;ve been able to codify what my calling is &#8211; to simply be an entrepreneur.  &#8220;An entrepreneur of what?&#8221;, you might ask.  Nothing.  Just that&#8230;an entrepreneur.
Yeah, I know it sounds dumb to you.  I don&#8217;t really care.  Here&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=14&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wow &#8211; big gap, lots of happenings.  Update time.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man, I really let this slide, eh?  Well, hopefully I can be more consistent in the future, but I wouldn&#8217;t count on it.  Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on&#8230;
Idea #1 is in a holding pattern.  The original product idea I had only did meekly in some testing situations and some prelim market research.  It&#8217;s still a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=13&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Marketing, targeting, building and buying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve updated here, and frankly, it&#8217;s because not much has been happening worth writing about.  However, I felt bad for just up and leaving, so I thought I&#8217;d jot down a few thoughts.
We&#8217;re still in the &#8220;where can we get this thing prototyped&#8221; phase.  I&#8217;ve got a couple vendors that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crushingthebox.wordpress.com&blog=2433058&post=12&subd=crushingthebox&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
