			<description><![CDATA[Thanks Ogosense! Its pretty impressive how quickly people like you Daniel are able to build up successful businesses. I think you launched about two months before us. Even a pioneer in community-building like Rockettheme has being going only just over 3 years. I think they're at 8 employees - spread all over the world from Brazil to Poland.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah quality and support make a huge difference. We aren't quite to the point where we can afford dedicated support people but will be soon enough I think. We have a dedicated artist and probably a dedicated documentation person soon.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Steve, I have to say you are doing a superb job for a few visits that I make to the site. I renewed my site membership in hope I'll find time to read more of your helpful tips in the coming months :-) I'm especially amazed by the amount of user generated content. Your jomcomment investment has definitely paid off :-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Consider this being off-duty :-) Agreed Barrie. Better to have an employee with passion for the company on the other side of the country than to have a disinterested contractor close to home. Even compared to 10 years ago, we live in a world where a whole lot more people want to and can be entrepreneurs rather than employees - its takes a good deal to keep them. http://www.alledia.com/blog/business/the-impossibility-of-hiring-good-staff/]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think subbing out development works very well. In our experience (Joomlashack) its the support that makes or breaks you. We have salaried (and health cared ;-)) support staff and we see the difference in our customer experience.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Steve and @Daniel I'm talking about the Product Centered Services: high revenue, low profit. A lot of people try to create a product for a specific client, then try to turn it into a pure product. This rarely seems to work unless you a) put more polish into the product and b) abandon further client customizations. A lot of people think they can ease from Product Centered Services to a Pure Product, but have troubles giving up the steady revenue that comes from client work.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think he means the subcontracting one maybe? I have tried to outsource at least 5 or 6 times to Joomlancers, but every single time I as disappointed with the quality and the price. Joomlancers guys make money via throughput so very few take pride in their work, they just want it 'done'. I have lost about 5k all together in failed projects from joomlancers, and also other already made extension purchases. We have, and are constantly evolving, development standards, branding standards, communication standards, accessibility standards, usability standards, valid CSS an HTML standards etc. and you just can't communicate that to someone who is there for one project. Even if you can, they don't want to do it because it's just 'fluff' they want to do it there way and as quick as possible. The sort of quality and pride in your work I am after is only possible when people have a commitment to the company which only comes from being a part of it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not to jump down anyone's throats, but that sounds a bit like a "model" I see over and over again: "we'll find some customers, figure out what they want, then turn around and sell it to a bunch of people." I've been involved in projects where this has been attempted (with the customer's permission). You wind up with some reusable code, but not a product you can just vend; it ends up being about the services and customizations you provide around the product. You get stuck in the bottom right portion of my graph. If you want to create a successful product, you have to take charge and build it.]]></description>
