Problem: Article: Do a little forecasting of how much you might sell. You want to be able to have some sort of idea of the product volume or amount of services you can actually sell. This will give you a better idea of how much product you need to have in stock and how you will need to allocate other resources. If you're selling a product, make sure you have enough on hand to meet daily or weekly demand without investing too much money in stock that you might not sell if your business fails. You should be very cautious at first before you know the market and specific demand for your product. Don't over invest you might wind up eating those 500 candy bars instead of selling them. If you're offering a service, like tutoring or mowing lawns, you need to figure out the maximum amount of time you can devote to your business. You definitely have other obligations, so don't over-extend yourself. If you think you'll be booked up right away, consider hiring someone else to share the work with. Now that you've identified your market and thought a bit about what you'll be selling, you need to decide on price points for your goods or services. This is important because you want to be able to actually sell a product or service while making a profit. Price your product or service competitively with others who offer the same product or service. If you think your product or service is better, price it somewhat higher, but make sure you can communicate to customers why your product or service is better than that of the competition. Keep cost and profit in mind. When it comes to purchasing the product or products you'll be selling, you need to make sure you pay wholesale pricing rather than retail pricing. You'll be selling at retail, so you don't want to pay retail for your product. Otherwise, you'll be paying too much and your potential profits will disappear before you've sold anything. Consider: Compiling a list of potential vendors for the product you want to buy, then calling them to see who sells cheaper. Traveling outside your city to buy your products at wholesale pricing. Ordering your products from an internet wholesaler. Your "lead time" -- the time in between needing and ordering goods and the actual time you'll acquire them -- is very important. If you get a good grasp of your lead time, you'll always have enough product to satisfy demand at any given moment. If you've chosen to offer a service instead of selling actual goods, then you need to prepare your service before you do anything else. There are a number of things you need to do to prepare your service. Consider: Practice offering your service to someone. If you'll be tutoring, tutor a friend a couple of times so you've worked out the kinks in your tutoring approach. If you'll be offering dog walking or lawn care services to your peers parents, practice those services before you even have your first customer. Make sure you've sat down and thought about all the questions potential customers might have about your service. You don't want to be left not being able to answer a question from a potential customer. If you have one, check out your website and test it for kinks. If you're doing something web-based, make sure you've tested your website several times before opening it to the public. Invite all of your friends and family on to the website as testers. Chances are, they'll find something you might not have thought about.
Summary: Think about your sales expectations. Set your price points. Purchase your supplies at low, wholesale pricing. Figure out the timing of when you'll need to purchase products. Prepare your service.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the noun you are referring to is near to you, either physically or figuratively, you can replace it with these. I'm holding three chocolate bars. Do you want all of these? (These replaces chocolate bars.) Would you like to borrow some books? Here, take these. (These replaces books.) These are so beautiful! Thank you for the flowers. (These replaces flowers.) This and these are both used to refer to something that is closer to the speaker. You can use these to draw particular attention to items. These books on the shelf belong to Rajeev. [The books are near the speaker.] Look at all these bracelets on my wrist! [The bracelets are on the speaker's wrist, so they're nearby.] Who put these cupcakes in the refrigerator? [Presumably, the speaker is close to the cupcakes.] This and these are also used to express figurative distances, particularly distances having to do with time. Use these when something is happening in the present, has happened in the recent past, or will happen in the near future. These shows I've been watching are absolutely extraordinary. [The shows have been watched in the recent past.] Have you seen these letters to the editor in today's news? [The letters have been published in today's newspaper.] Why don't you take these books with you when you go? [The books will be taken by the other person in the near future.] If you are introducing more than one person to someone else, you can use these to begin your sentence. For example: "These are my classmates, Sean and Adrienne." However, in English we do not use these to refer directly to people: "These are Sean and Adrienne" is incorrect. Instead, you would say "This is Sean and this is Adrienne." If introducing yourself, as when answering the phone, use this: "Hello, this is Chang."
Summary:
Use these to replace nouns that are nearby in space and time. Use these to refer to something that is physically nearby. Use these to describe when something is figuratively nearby. Use these to introduce people to others.
