Great point on Progressive. Caring for my clients is as Most often that comes across in my initial consultations - which is usually what closes the deal. Thanks for reminding me of this. I've worked quite hard to create a successful business myself with Healthy WebDesign. It's so interesting to watch my reactions around wanting to protect it. Yet there is no growth without risk. I'm already getting your feed and I just added you to my blogroll. Thanks Gary. Great point on Progressive.
