		<description>Hey, Jeb.

It&#039;s really tough to do, but can actually be a selfless act on your part.  When you say yes to something that really isn&#039;t in your sweet spot or just isn&#039;t the right timing, you&#039;re stealing opportunity from someone who could be a better fit.  That&#039;s what I tell myself whenever I have to say no.  It&#039;s a tough call most times when you just plain love new adventures.  But then again, that&#039;s probably why you started your own business in the first place.</description>
