<description><![CDATA[I recently attended a dinner where a franchise owner of a fast food restaurant spoke.  The owner had been in business for several years, 25+, and told of some of the trials she encountered along the way.  She was a very engaging speaker and I enjoyed it very much.  After she spoke it was question time.  A person in the audience was the owner of a one-year old hair salon.  Her question was, "How do you go home and not take the stress and worry of the business with you?"  The speaker's answer was, "you always take it home but something that would help is to turn off your cell phone."]]></description>
