		<description>I also like the philosophy of &quot;the more you know, the more you know you don&#039;t know&quot;. The world is so huge and so wide, traveling definitely makes people grow, especially going cross-culture. It&#039;s mind-opening and humbling at the same time. I hope that everyone gets the opportunity to travel so they can learn to take a step down and serve other people better.

I really like your post and would like to read more!</description>

		<description>I think you have to be transparent when it comes to your business and that includes admitting you don&#039;t know everything while at the same time also offering to find out the answers to their questions to the best of your ability in order to give great customer service.

I don&#039;t claim to know it all when it comes the world of the internet however I do make it a point to learn as much as I can so that I can help someone else out who may not be as savy as I am with the internet and PC. 

In that respect I think it is also important to act as a mentor of sorts in the client relationship. They are looking to you for support and assistance due to the fact that they can&#039;t find what they need within themselves so it is up to you to foster a healthy business relationship with them so that one of two things will happen. First, they will feel they can trust you to guide them along the right path for their mental and financial well being and also they will use their positive experience to bolster you to others thus creating a good referral source for you.</description>

		<description>Thank you guys for the comments! I guess I will start on &#039;10 Ploys to Very Unhappy Clients&#039;.

I completely agree with you, Andrew, that it takes a bigger person to recognize that he or she does not know everything, and that this is not failure at all. I have always lived by &#039;the more you know, the more you know you don&#039;t know&#039;, and it takes a strong person to constantly strive to learn. This is evidently a part of number 10, constant and never ending improvement.</description>

		<description>Great article and number 9 stands out for me.

A strength is knowing that you don&#039;t know everything. Many indivlduals see that as a failing - it isn&#039;t. And if you don&#039;t know, ask for advice.
