		<description><![CDATA[Smooth Harold reader Derek Bobo asks via email:
I was wondering when and how you made the leap of faith to work for yourself. When did you know you were safe financially? What was the deciding factor, etc? I&#8217;m right on the brink but can&#8217;t seem to get myself to take the leap of faith.

		<description><![CDATA[Smooth Harold reader Scott Daniel asks via email:
Does social networking really work as a marketing tool?  My CIO is standing firm that it does not.
Yes, it does, provided you have something interesting to say. For example, my blogging efforts on Smooth Harold alone have directly resulted in checks amounting to around $17,000 over the last [...]]]></description>
