		<description>Well, any interest I had in Hermione Way&#039;s business was destroyed with this comment, that&#039;s for sure. I don&#039;t want to work with someone who says &quot;Go fuck yourself&quot; at the first sign of trouble. She&#039;s certainly not a tycoon of tomorrow anymore.</description>

		<description>You&#039;d think with an NCTJ and Journalism degree that you might know:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. This listing can be easily found - you don&#039;t want it to come back to haunt you in the future when you&#039;ve become successful (engaging in petty arguments on the internet?);&lt;br&gt;2. Grammar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Isn&#039;t the dot-net-two-point-oh bubble about to burst/implode? Revenue from subscribers/customers is scant at best, with the only real income coming from adverts and sponsorship. I can only foresee this getting worse for companies like your own as, like you say, the tools for starting up ventures are free. With your first business model failing and the possible revenue stream from sites such as yours seemingly quite small, you will have to have a firm idea of where to take your business over the next ten years or so to avoid becoming fodder for a future list of Declan&#039;s.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You&#039;re very lucky to have a member of the family who has himself worked through troubles and pitfalls and, vicariously, been able to pave a way for you in the industry. Whether just through advice or via firmer means (such as investment), this helping hand is something that most other people and start-ups will never have the fortuity to be privy to. As somebody who has undertaken management courses and seen my wife do an NCTJ (ain&#039;t that final shorthand exam a BITCH?!), I know it&#039;s incredibly difficult getting to the stage where you can officially start calling a hobby &quot;a business&quot; and quit your day job. Especially when you&#039;re from the North. Which I am.</description>

		<description>With an attitude like that no, no you will not be successful. You might think you are now, but you will likely fade into obscurity like thousands of other small business owners have over the years... unless you change your attitude.</description>
