Beyond the numbers, there is always the human factor that will [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=happyfuturegroup.com&#038;blog=7236493&#038;post=612&#038;subd=happyfuturegroup&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nowadays, about every company has a Mission Statement. It has become part of the business culture and it is included in every business plan.
