    And to think, I remember $.70/oz silver and $35/oz gold and I am
    still in business and plan to be so for a long time to come. 

    Disconcerting? Maybe. Just business evolution in action. I am quite
    hard nosed about the idea that if we can't adapt and change, we can
    only expect to be left behind. 

    I have been having a wonderful time watching a student evolve from
    killing herself on the show circuit to re-inventing herself and her
    designs and landing a contract with QVC. Yes, new problems, different
    markets, but still a successful business and now she is off on a 3
    week vacation overseas. 

    How bad do you want to stay in business? That is the question to
    answer.
