		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your comment.  I don&#039;t think that is necessarily &quot;burying your head in the sand&quot;.  I think the answer is if the problem is something you can control or fix, then take action.  You can&#039;t really do anything to change the economy or the gold prices or anything like that, so to spend time worrying doesn&#039;t really makes sense.  It doesn&#039;t change the reality.
Hope that helps!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I run a sales solutions company whose main goal is to assist growth oriented clients in improving their overall sales and sales process. I found that during the tough economy, one of the things I often told clients was to avoid discounting the price of their service. Often I even found myself telling them to raise prices. What I believe it does is eliminate the customers, the people who buy from you but aren’t really in it for the long haul, and bring out more clients, the people you will partner with for success and who are willing to make an investment in doing it right.
