		<description>&lt;h1&gt;Producing for Professionals&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Talking about producing your product being third in line of your activities seems odd when you must surely have something to sell first to have any business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, recalling that the first &amp;#039;P&amp;#039; was Planning you can see that actually deciding what to sell, how to sell it and how to get paid for it all have to be planned before you can set about actually producing it.  You can&amp;#039;t fire up the machinery until you know what you are supposed to be making.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The first &amp;#039;P&amp;#039; in Profit was to make a plan.  And you will remember that I likened it to a builders blueprint. Though I&amp;#039;m not talking about a formal business plan with spreadsheets and financial calculations you have to take along to the bank if you need funding.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There are those who advocate doing something, anything, to get started online.  There is some merit in this argument if it motivates you by delivering a great result, especially sales, very quickly.  Though my only concern is that it can be equally demotivating if urgent activity results in no sales.&lt;/p&gt;
