		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I was at a networking meeting attended by a number of consultants who work with high-level managers. One of the consultants, whose clients are mostly successful entrepreneurs, mentioned that fear was prevalent among his clients because of the current economic uncertainty. I was surprised to hear that this group shared the same kind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are those who say that it&#8217;s better to ignore the news. I disagree with this. Ignoring political and economic trends makes it difficult to strategize for the future. For me, watching the news is a spiritual discipline because I learn how to detach from what I&#8217;m seeing. I can imagine that I&#8217;m climbing up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that many factors such as income inequity between rich and poor, high unemployment, rising food prices, and suppression by autocratic governments are contributing to the growing unrest in the Middle East that is likely to spread from country to country. Because the unrest may be far away from where you live, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt about the fact that the global economy is going through a major upheaval and restructuring and no one really knows what the long-term outcome will be. The signs point to a slow recovery during the restructuring, and for business owners, this is a good time to prepare for an upturn. Those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an incredible disconnect between the movement of the stock market and the economic reality for much of the US population. As I&#8217;m writing this, the headline on CNBC.com, just above the market chart, is &#8220;Stocks Gain 4% for Week Amid Earnings Optimism.&#8221; No doubt about it, the market has been going up, enabling those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One word that can sum up the current state of world affairs is uncertainty. No one really knows what&#8217;s going on and all of the old predictive models aren&#8217;t working.
