		<description>Thanks so much for the mention! It is interesting how many &lt;br&gt;people don&#039;t think of simply being kind as acting in our own &lt;br&gt;best interests - most of the time, we feel that acting with kindness is &lt;br&gt;giving others the upper hand, especially at work. But when I look back on &lt;br&gt;the most important relationships I have in my career, they&#039;re often based on &lt;br&gt;mutual respect and kindness.</description>

		<description>Small business&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;     Small Business owners are largely forgotten. Thats why I only focus on them. I have experience several members of my family file bankruptcy due to small business failures. I also I suffered through 2 destroyed businesses due to failure however, in my failings I have learned some of the secrets to success. (Who can say they know it all?&lt;br&gt;        What I like about small business owners is that they are not afraid to take huge risks and lay it all on the line. But, I agree they do need a lot of help with their marketing. I think having them go the social media and email route is not only the least expensive but its also the most effective. Thanks for the stats!.........&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.onlineuniversalwork.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.onlineuniversalwork.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Small business&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. The Center for Media Research has released a study by Vertical Response that shows just where many of these ‘Main Street’ players are going with their online dollars. The big winners: e-mail and social media. With only 3.8% of small business folks NOT planning on using e-mail marketing and with social media carrying the perception of being free (which they so rudely discover it is far from free) this should make some in the banner and search crowd a little wary…….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.onlineuniversalwork.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.onlineuniversalwork.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>
