Problem: Article: While all business plans share the common objective of describing a businesses purpose and structure, analyzing the marketplace, and creating cash flow projections, the types of plans differ. There are three major kinds. The mini plan. This is a shorter plan (likely 10 pages or less), and is useful for determining potential interest in your business, further exploring a concept, or starting point to a full plan. This is a great starting point. The working plan. This can be considered the full version of the miniplan, and its main purpose is to outline, without emphasis on appearance, precisely how to build and operate the business. This is the plan that the business owner would refer to regularly as the business moves towards its objectives. The presentation plan. The presentation plan is meant for individuals other than those owning and operating the business. This could include potential investors or bankers. It is essentially the working plan, but with an emphasis on sleek, marketable presentation, and proper business language and terminology. Whereas the working plan is made for reference by the owner, the presentation needs to be written with investors, bankers, and the public in mind. Whether you opt for a miniplan, or a comprehensive working plan to start, it is essential to understand the basic elements of a business plan. The business concept is the first broad element of a business plan. The focus here is on the description of your business, its market, its products, and its organizational structure and management. The market analysis is the second major element of a business plan. Your business will operate within a particular marketplace, and it is important to understand customer demographics, preferences, needs, buying behavior, as well as the competition. The financial analysis is the third component of the business plan. If your business is new, this will include projected cash flows, capital expenditures, and the balance sheet. It will also include forecasts as to when the business will break-even. If you lack business or financial education, it is never a bad idea to enlist the help of an accountant to assist with the financial analysis portion of the plan. The above sections are the broad components of the business plan. These sections in turn break down into the following seven sections, which we will, in order, focus on writing next: Company description, market analysis, organization structure and management, products and services, marketing and sales, and request for funding.
Summary: Determine the type of business plan you will use. Understand the basic structure of the business plan. Obtain appropriate help.

Problem: Article: Light some candles that are scented with either rose, jasmine, lavender, or another one of your favorite smells. Though you may think that lighting candles is for the nighttime, there's nothing stopping you from lighting a scented candle the moment you wake up. The smell can make you feel soothed and refreshed, and there's something naturally calming about candlelight that can make you feel at peace. If you're not gung-ho about lighting candles, opt for some incense instead. And if you've never been into candles or incense, don't feel the pressure to light them just because you think it will make you feel more relaxed. Putting on some music in the background can also help you feel relaxed as you go about pampering yourself. Try to avoid talk radio, or loud Top 40 hits, and stick to music that will make you feel calm and relaxed. If you like Miles Davis, Enya, or any form of classical music, then you should softly play it throughout your day so you feel calmed and centered. You can also just set Pandora to your favorite relaxing station so you don't have to worry about choosing anything. That said, if you're the kind of person who gets distracted by music, you can leave it off. Sometimes, there's nothing more soothing than silence. Though letting in some natural light can help you feel rejuvenated and refreshed, you can also consider keeping the room darker than normal, so you don't have too many lights distracting you or hurting your eyes. Soft, natural light, whether it's from dim lamps or candles can be soothing, while bright lights can make you feel too alert to really be relaxed. Work on having enough light to see, but not so much that it makes you feel overstimulated. You can stick to sunlight during the day and candlelight at night. Try to avoid using lamps or overhead lights as much as you can. You can also try to remove any very brightly-colored items, such as bright yellow pillows, and stick to softer colors such as greens, browns, and deep blues so you feel more relaxed.
Summary: Light candles. Play some music. Keep the room relatively dark.

Problem: Article: Cats generally exhibit behaviors for a specific reason. Your cat may be knocking things over for many different reasons. These may include: Exploring surroundings Expressing prey drive Getting your attention Hunger Practicing paw maneuvers Boredom Your cat's behavior may be related to a specific issue, such as underfeeding. Watch your cat to see when it most often knocks over your things. This can clue you into why your cat exhibits this behavior. Consider asking yourself the following questions: Does my cat do this when there is no food in its dish? Does my cat do this when there are other people or company at my home? Does my cat do this when my home is quiet and there is nothing happening? Does my cat get enough time to play? Is it allowed to express natural hunting desires? Your cat may not respond to your attempts to deter it from knocking over things. This may be the result of a physical or mental health issue. If your cat continues to knock over things, contact your veterinarian. The vet may be able to diagnose underlying conditions and offer treatment. In some cases, your cat's vet may refer it to an animal behavior specialist.
Summary: Identify why cats knock over stuff. Observe your cat's behavior. See a vet.

Problem: Article: Proximity alarms will alert you when equipment is removed outside of a specific radius. Verify that the appropriate radius is programmed into the alarm receivers. This will prevent false alarms from occurring when employees take laptops with them to meetings or to other sections of the office building. A central location will accurately track computers based on the radius programmed into the transmitter. Keep the receivers with your security staff if possible, since your security guards may be the best source for assistance in the event office computers are being stolen.
Summary:
Attach mobile proximity alarms to your office computers. Store the receivers for every transmitter in a central office location.
