Hello again! We've got a terrific week ahead of us! The theme is “Planning” - a critically important stage in any successful venture.
We begin with a word that is watched and analyzed by businesses and individuals as carefully, and with as much interest and anxiety, as a mother watching over her newborn infant!

- A trend is the general direction in which something is moving or changing.

- There has been an upward trend in rents in the area, which is keeping many lower-income families from moving in.
 - Some music industry analysts claim that the downward trend in new CD sales is a direct result of an increase in music pirating.
 - If their company can continue the positive sales trend of the first quarter, they should be out of the red very soon.
 - The continuing growth trend in that industry has resulted in many new companies being formed to get a piece of the action.
