		<description>I like this post Lawrence!  You&#039;re so very right about keeping up the small acts rather than letting them pass to the way side and then trying to make up for it with one big, often less meaningful makeup act.  I really agree that this can be a huge obstacle in our personal lives as well as many businesses.  I&#039;ve witnessed first hand experiences of being a patron of a new establishment or business in town, having a great experience the first time, but then noticing the decline in service and attention to customers once they have their base going.  Small businesses of any kind, as well as large corporations need to remember that people buy their products/services, we all too often use the word &quot;customer&quot; as a vague reference that I think we lose the meaning of.  People are your customers and if you leave them behind, they soon will leave you too.</description>
