		<description>Robert, So true. Problems seldom grow better with age.

Cath, We have to look for any silver lining we can in tough times. Getting discouraged only makes matters worse.

		<description>Hi Brad - as you say, it&#039;s easy to overlook problems when you&#039;re doing well.  I&#039;ve done it myself.  I guess the trouble is, you get so busy, you don&#039;t get time to make improvements.  But as you say, when the economy is down those problems could be the death of your business if you don&#039;t get them fixed.

		<description>This is important in our personal lives as well as businesses, Brad. It&#039;s easy to overlook our own character flaws when things are going swimmingly. But find yourself in a pressure cooker and tempers flare, fingers point, and it can be a real mess.

Best to, as you say, deal with things when they come up, no matter how inconsequential it seems. Little things have a way of turning into big things when we&#039;re not paying attention.
