If you don't already own lawn-care equipment, you need to decide what you'll need for your business. What services do you plan to offer? Will you only need a lawnmower, or do you also plan to cut weeds, trim hedges and remove leaves? How much money do you have to start your business? The equipment you purchase will need to fall within that budget. If you find you don't have enough capital to purchase it, you can also lease equipment with fewer start-up funds, although that will cost more in the long run. Leasing equipment does have its perks, however, since you generally get the most modern equipment that requires minimal maintenance, and the costs can be tax deductible. You might decide to lease in the short term while you raise capital to purchase at a later date. With about $500, you can purchase a basic push mower, a trimmer and a leaf blower. If you plan to provide additional lawn services but lack the extra capital, you can always start off with basic tools and expand once you gain capital. If you don't have enough money to start with new equipment, you can even purchase a used lawn mower to use as you start earning money to reinvest into your business.

When you go up on stage, think back to the song. Remember the song's meaning before the music starts. Ask yourself a few questions about the song to get yourself in the proper mindset to perform. Who is the speaker in the song? What is he or she thinking? Where has he or she been? Where does he or she hope to go? Who is the song for? Is the speaker singing to a generic audience, or is this song directed at a particular person? You should also think about your audience as you sing. Try to feel the energy in the room. If you're playing a rock song to an audience who's getting wild and excited, you should play to that energy. Sing with more charisma and intensity. If you're playing to an audience who are quiet and respectful, try to tone down your delivery slightly. How you sing into the microphone can affect your sound on stage. Make sure you sing into the microphone in a way that produces a desirable sound. Hold the microphone by the shaft instead of the head, as not to muffle the sound. If you're singing at a lower frequency, sing close to the mic. If you're singing louder, or in a more booming voice, keep your head away from the microphone. If you don't like the sound you're getting, try switching the angle slightly. This can help tweak the sound just slightly. It's perfectly normal to feel stage fright when singing for an audience. There are steps you can take to combat this sense of stage fright. Prior to taking the stage, do some exercise. Go for a walk or a run. Do some stretches. Exercise is great at stress reduction. Pose questions for yourself before each line that ask about the line's context. This is a trick that allows you to pretend you're answering an individual's questions instead of singing to a big crowd. For example, say you're singing "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles. Before the line, "Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where the wedding has been," imagine someone asking you, "What does Eleanor Rigby do after the wedding?" If you're feeling insecure, remember any compliments you've received for your singing in the past. This can help fuel your passion and keep you focused on stage. Practice deep breathing on stage in order to make sure you have enough energy to sing. This can also help calm your nerves on stage. Breathe deep into your stomach over your chest. Momentarily tense your muscles as you breathe in, and then relax them as you breathe out.

It's hard to draw hair accurately without at least the outline of the head. You need to see how the hair flows in relation to the head as you're drawing. Use a reference photo and draw the outline of the person's head, including the top and sides (even if they're covered by hair). To draw a head without a reference photo, sketch an oval that's narrower at the bottom. Make sure you leave enough room on the page for the ends of the hair. You can adjust the shape of the chin later after you draw the hair. Start at the top of the head and draw the top and sides of the hair around it. Leave some space between the hair and the head since hair has volume and isn't perfectly flat. Then, draw the flow of the hair as it cascades down past the face and around where the neck and shoulders would be. The exact shape of the outline will depend on the style of the hair you're drawing. For straight long hair, draw a straight line on each side of the hair, running from the top of the hair to the ends. For wavy hair, use wavy lines to draw the sides of the hairthe bigger you make the wavy lines, the looser the hair waves will look. For curly hair, just draw the outlines of the curls around the top, sides, and ends of the hair. Don't worry about drawing all of the individual curls yet.
