		<description>I agree with you that growth isn’t everything. In fact, as I said in my post &lt;a href="http://outofthetriangle.wordpress.com/2007/10/21/6-qualities-for-business-success/"&gt;6 Qualities For Business Success&lt;/a&gt;, I think that trying to grow too quickly can actually harm your business. It’s also good that you talk about the importance of finding the right work/life balance. You and your readers might find &lt;a href="http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/09/04/new-research-and-a-dirty-truth-read-this-before-chasing-the-dollar/"&gt;this post by Tim Ferriss&lt;/a&gt; interesting because it talks about the fact that more money does not always bring happiness.</description>
