		<description><![CDATA[So what are your plans for 2012?  Are you going to sit on your hands and wait for the economic winds to start blowing your direction again or are you going to get out front with a renewed push to make the most of whatever comes your way regardless of what the economy does?  When you think about it, this is a stupid question isn’t it!  Of course you are going to be proactive...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s “Cyber Monday” and the retail reporters are predicting a 20% increase in internet sales over last year. “Black Friday” was up 7% and everybody is confident that this holiday shopping season will rake in the greatest number of dollars ever. But what has been going on for the last 11 months? Why is it that retailers will suddenly start to advertise, promote, and market again after hibernating all year?  Why now? Is it just because they can’t wait any longer? Is it because they think that people are finally ready to buy? I don’t think so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all the news about unemployment being high you would think that a small ad in the newspaper or on an online job posting would bring a deluge of qualified applicants. I figured I would list the positions I had open on Craig’s List since it is a popular place to look for a job in our area. Can you believe that I didn’t have one response?  Not one!

		<description><![CDATA[Last fall I predicted this would happen as the economy rebounded this spring.  People just can’t go forever without purchasing things. Sooner or later they get bored or their personal belongings simply wear out.  Companies have cut back and enjoyed increased profits with a lean staff but with a surge in customer activity they are now paralyzed to respond.  They simply don’t have the resources to meet the customer’s needs and their reputations are suffering as a result.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know some people love Chicken Little and see every sign as one that points to the end but I just prefer to look at my glass as half full with the potential for filling more and more until is spills over. I’ve got a lot of work to do to fulfill my predictions not to mention pleasing all the people depending on me so I have to stay motivated. Never the less, I can’t even begin to consider a scenario where things don’t always have the potential to get better, but for all of you who still don’t believe that there are good times just ahead, I do have some evidence to consider.

		<description><![CDATA[Most companies are doing all they can to please their valued customers even with strained resources but some are taking advantage of the greed of their clients by offering look alike products that are nowhere near the same quality with no intention or ability to support them. The end result will hurt the entire business segment from top to bottom once things start rolling again.
