Problem: Article: Exercise is great for you both physically and mentally. You are doing something good for your body, and you are focusing your mind on something other than the guy. The endorphins produced from exercising will also boost your mood. Choose a method of exercise that you enjoy most. It could be running, yoga, basketball, or even taking a nice walk through the park. Ask a friend to exercise with you. Meeting new people and being exposed to new activities is a great way to take your mind off of the situation. Figure out ways to fill up the time, and it will become easier to move on. Join a sports team, take an art class, or volunteer within your community. Use this time to learn about and practice something you enjoy. It's good to spend some time reflecting, but don't let your emotions keep you holed up at home. Plan a trip to the park, beach, or go to a museum. You could even do something as simple as a picnic in the park with friends.. You don't have to do this if you don't feel you're ready. But if you're up to it, the best way to get over a guy is to see who else is out there. You could talk to a guy at a class you attend, try out an online dating service, or have a friend introduce you to someone. You don't have to continue talking to anyone that you don't like, and it's perfectly okay to decide you need more time after you give it a try.
Summary: Get some exercise. Take up a new hobby. Plan a day out. Meet other guys.

Problem: Article: Generally, you want the soil around your plants to be damp in summer and dry in winter. A soaker hose, where water seeps out of a hose line to water plants, should provide enough moisture for your berries if used for an hour or two every week. In some cases, like during heat or dry spells, you may need to water your berries more than usual. Training your plants by pruning them will encourage a rich and productive crop. Remove canes (stems) outside the 12 to 18 in (30.5 to 45.7 cm) total row width. Cut away any canes that are damaged, infested with insects, or appear diseased. For summer-harvest crops of red raspberries, cut down discolored, grayish canes after they have finished producing fruit. Leave new, healthy plants. For fall-harvest crops, cut off all the canes at ground level after they have finished producing fruit. For black raspberries, cut off the side fruit-producing branches after harvesting. Remove weak and untrained branches. When not producing, cut off small canes. Remove the smallest, ineffective canes from all plants in late winter. Ideally, three to six strong, healthy canes will remain after this process. You can apply a few inches of mature compost and/or an organic fertilizer, such as fish emulsion, to promote healthy, productive plants. A homemade, organic raspberry fertilizer might look like: Organic homemade raspberry fertilizer: 4 parts canola seed meal (or fish meal), 1 part dolomitic lime (to offset acidity in the seed meal), 1 part rock phosphate (or part bone meal), 1 part kelp meal. The berries should be rich in color and come free easily from the plant. Some varieties, however, offer a bit of resistance when being picked. Taste a few berries to determine if they are sweet enough to harvest. As the color darkens, the sugar level increases. Harvest berries early in the morning when it is still cold outside. This prevents them from smashing as you pick them. Rinse your berries and eat them immediately after harvesting. Though raspberries will keep in the refrigerator for several days, they are best eaten fresh. Freeze extra raspberries for later use in baking. Try putting putting them in jams or preserves, pies, etc.
Summary: Water plants weekly. Prune your raspberries at least once per year. Fertilize in late winter. Harvest your raspberries in late summer or early fall.

Problem: Article: A market analysis can be complex or simple. Tailor it to your audience. For example, if you are seeking investors, then they will need more detail than if the business plan is solely for internal usehowever, don't overdo it. Include demographic information such as their age, income, location, gender, etc. Also describe their buying habits and hobbies. For example, if you are running a children's clothing boutique, then your target consumer might be stay-at-home moms who are middle class. Many businesses target multiple market segments. For example, a coffee shop might target people who work within a five mile radius as well as teens and the elderly who drink coffee. However, be realistic when identifying your market segments. Not everyone in the world is a potential customer. Your products or services should meet a consumer need. For example, a children's clothing boutique meets the needs of parents who want to dress their children in unique outfits. Sometimes, a need only arises after you've created your business. However, it will be difficult to get investors in this situation. For example, you might describe the need for children's clothing this way: "Increasingly, young parents want to establish their children's individual identify from an early age. Just as clothes make the person, a child's clothing plays a key part in how others perceive themand their parents. The unique outfits at Kid's Couture LLC will let status-conscious parents nurture their child's individuality." Offer a birds-eye view of your industry. How fast has the market grown? What is its current size? Provide national and local information. Give the reader some sense of whether this is an emerging market or one that is established. For example, an analysis of the coffee industry might begin, "Coffee consumption in the U.S. has grown at a 2.5% annual growth rate for the past 10 years. The retail coffee industry has grown at twice this speed in northern New England." Markets rarely stand still. You should note any changes that you see. What are the changes in demographics, taste, or customer needs? Are certain products or services gaining traction. For example, young families might be moving into an area. By contrast, a neighbor may be aging as few young people move to it. These trends can affect the success of your business. Identify your competitors' market share and then discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Also explain how you will take advantage of current competitor weaknesses. Usually, you will offer a service that your competitors don't, but you might also provide a different experience. For example, a children's boutique might find that there is no one within driving distance who offers original children's clothing. Instead, the only competitors might be box stores who offer popular brands. A coffee shop might compete by offering a comfortable, at-home atmosphere that brand stores cannot create. You should write the summary last but put it at the front of the market analysis. Provide a capsule summary of the highlights. Generally, the summary can be as short as one paragraph. This summary might be included in a loan application, so it should be as thorough as possible while maintaining brevity. Based on your research and analysis, you might need to change other parts of your business plan. This is not unusualyour initial assumptions might have been wrong. For example, you might need to change your marketing plan based on what you learned about consumer behavior. If your target market doesn't watch television, there's no reason to pay for pricey TV ads. If the demographics of a neighborhood are changing in a way that's bad for your business, you might need to relocate. If your target market has less disposable income than anticipated, you will need to change your pricing strategy.
Summary:
Identify your audience. Define your target consumers. Explain what market need you satisfy. Analyze the industry. Identify market trends. Provide a competitive analysis. Draft a short summary of the market analysis. Adjust the other sections of your business plan.
