As you grow your business, you will need to adjust your own responsibilities to fill a more strategic role. Your managerial duties should be delegated to another employee, contractor, or virtual assistant so that you can spend time representing your business and strategizing its growth. After all, both managing and business and growing a business are full-time jobs. Just make sure whoever you delegate your duties to is up to the challenge. You may want to hire outside the company to find someone to take over your day-to-day responsibilities. Outsourcing work does not require hiring a full time employee. Instead, it can involve building a team that may include virtual members, part-time workers, full-time employees, and freelancer/contract workers. Handing over these responsibilities can be difficult for entrepreneurs, but rest assured that delegation will help your business grow and succeed. Current market conditions can be the deciding factor in whether or not your business will take off or remain stagnant. Your advantage as a small business, versus large corporations, is that your business organization is small and nimble enough to quickly respond to changes in market trends. Watch for these trends and jump on them if they work with your product offerings. Try to forecast your customers' future needs and accommodate them as quickly as possible. Be prepared to make miscalculations and fail, but be equally prepared to get back up and move past these failures. Modern customers require more than a good product; they need to believe in your business's brand. A brand defines your business's ideals and goals, and also separates you from the competition. As your business grows, your brand will become a signal to customers that they are getting a good product from a reputable company. Build a brandy by looking at the following components: A brand message. Make your customers associate your business's ideals with your products. They need more than just a description of your product's features. A well-defined audience. You can't please everyone. Locate your market and sell to them. Connection with your market. Make your customers feel like they are a part of your business. Replicate your brand message everywhere. All business materials, advertising, and employees should consistently reflect your brand message. With the current proliferation of business-focused software applications, chances are you'll be able to find the technology to fix any problem you have. Locate difficulties or inefficiencies in your business models and then search for software solutions to fix them. Technology can also be useful for automating processes. See the step about automation in the part of this article titled "Making Your Business Scalable." Remind yourself of your reasoning behind starting your business, and never lose that drive. If you find you are losing the enthusiasm, find out why. There was a reason initially, so stay on focus, and remain positive. Without passion, your business will not grow.

Q: Cyclamen bloom during the winter in their natural habitat. They prefer temperatures between about 40 and 60 F (4-15.5 degrees C). This is pretty chilly for indoors, but if you keep your house on the cooler side, your cyclamen will be happy. If the temperature gets above 65 F (18 C) during the day, or dips under 50 F (10 C) at night, cyclamen usually won't succeed. Although they like cool environments and good air circulation, keep cyclamen away from drafty areas. Cyclamen love sunlight, but direct sunlight is a bit much for them. They don't like that much heat in general, and hotter temperatures will often force the plants to go into dormancy. A sunny window is great for them, as long as the sunlight isn't direct and the temperature is cool. An east or north-facing window is a good option. Daily misting is a good way to provide some humidity for your cyclamen when they're in bloom. Another great option is to position their pots over a pebble-filled tray of water. They will not do well if the environment is dry or arid, and they crave moisture. Keep their soil moist but not soggy. Touch the soil daily and when it feels dry, water them with room temperature water. Always water cyclamen near their base, and never pour water over the crown of the plant. This can cause the corm (the bulbous part at the base of the stem) to rot. You can use tap water for this, as long as you've let the water come to room temperature first. As long as the temperature and light conditions are met, cyclamen will usually bloom from mid-winter until late spring. In some cases, very happy cyclamen may even bloom until early summer. The bloom colors vary, and you may see pink, red, white, striped or multi-colored blooms. Pruning will prolong the blooming season, because this allows all the nutrients to go to the healthy blooms and leaves. Use mini floral snips to cut off the dead blooms. You can use the snips to remove yellow leaves, as well, or simply pinch those off. Once new blooms stop forming and the old blooms are fading away, stop watering the cyclamen. The plants go into dormancy in the summer. If the soil stays moist during dormancy, the tuber (or corm) will rot and the plant will die. Once the soil gets dry, you won't need to re-moisturize it all summer long. While the cyclamen is dormant, you can store it in its pot or dig up the corm and keep it in a box of dry peat moss. When cyclamen go into dormancy, their leaves turn yellow and they look dead. They aren't dead! Dig up the corm, replant it in the fall, and start watering it again when new growth appears. Your cyclamen will produce another season of blooms. Cyclamen can live for many years and even though they look dead when dormant, they will spring back once the temperatures cool down. The corm is the tiny bulb at the bottom of the stalk. The plant's roots grow out of this bulb. The corm sits at ground level and is mostly visible, and the roots grow into the underground. Store the corm somewhere dry, like a box of dry peat moss kept in a cool, low-humidity area of your home.
A: Keep the temperature around 60 F (15.5 C). Give cyclamen bright but indirect sunlight. Encourage a humid environment during the winter. Water them daily with room temperature water. Expect blooms from mid-winter until early spring. Prune spent flowers and yellow leaves while they're in bloom. Stop watering them once the blooms fade in late spring. Dig up the corm and replant it in early fall.

Article: Isopropyl alcohol is a solvent that will dislodge any color from stains. This includes the green pigment left behind by grass. To wet the stain, take a sponge or cotton swab and generously dab with alcohol. Rubbing alcohol, also known as isopropyl alcohol, works on removing grass stains because it dissolves the green pigment left behind in a grass stain. If you're working on a delicate fabric, try a 50:50 solution of water and alcohol. Note that adding water means it may take longer to dry. Allow the stain to complete air dry before moving forward. The alcohol will evaporate out of the stain and most of the pigment should be dislodged. After the stain is dry, rinse it with cool water. Using cool water prevents the stain from setting. Use of hot water, or heat at all, will set the stain and make it more difficult to remove. Apply a small amount of detergent to the stain. Massage for at least five minutes, but the longer the better. Once you're satisfied with your massaging, rinse the stain with cold water until the water runs clear. Allow the garment to air dry. Once it is dry, check to see if the stain is gone. If not, repeat the process. If the stain has been removed, you can launder the item as normal.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
