		<description>From the sounds of it, Amanda was only taking a temporary hiatus anyway.  Obviously, this was a decision that she needed to make that was the best for HER personal situation, family, etc.

Just use this time to regroup, reorganize and focus on a new direction with the business . . . in the end, I'm sure you'll be back up and running - should you decide to do so.</description>

		<description>Amanda Stillwagon,

I have "failed" too in my start-up company, but I see it as one "fall" forward and one step closer to success. I will send you and inspirational video email that you could use for your business if you are interested to find international customers.</description>

		<description>Hi,

There's only one thing I would like to remind you of: "There's always a room for improvement!" I believe you learned a lot from this experience. Good luck!</description>

		<description>Amanda,

I'm glad you're not giving up. I believe entrepreneurship is best learned by experience. I believe that experience of yours will help you with the next step on your entrepreneurial career. Good luck!</description>

		<description>Hi Amanda,

I too have failed from business before. I got tired and lost that spirit in doing business. But now, I regained that spirit to give it a try. We shouldn't be losing that entrepreneurial spirit! It's worth giving ourselves another chance :)</description>

		<description>Hi Amanda!

You shouldn't be! You shouldn't be giving in yourself to the dictate of economy however we have to cope up and fit ourselves to it. I attended just a very short seminar and I remember people are people. They will never stop consuming and becoming customers as long as they associate your product to be really a part of their needs. Why don't you try something that your neighbors or friends could really not help it without. Glad to hear from you that you are not going to surrender. Keep it up!</description>
