...other business. You'll need a great product, a user-friendly website, and a solid marketing plan. Read on to learn how to get started. If you want to start an online store, you probably already have an idea for a great product to sell. Keep in mind that certain things are conducive to selling well online, while other items may be more difficult to sell when they can't be viewed in person. In any case, you should believe passionately in the value of your product - otherwise, it will be hard to connect with customers. Here are some questions to consider: * Is it a physical product that needs to be shipped, or is it a digital product that can be sent through the Internet? * Are you going to have an inventory (more than one) of each product, or will they be one-of-a-kind (e.g. artwork, vintage items)? * Are you going to want to sell a wide variety of products, or do you plan to specialize, like selling just t-shirts or books? * Are you creating the product yourself? If so, make sure you'll be able to keep up with demand. Form a relationship with a reliable supplier. * If you don't plan to make the product yourself, you'll need a good manufacturer. Research different companies to find the one that works for your business idea. * Decide how your product will be shipped. Create a plan to ship the product from your home efficiently, or work out a storage and shipping plan with a warehouse. You could also look into drop-shipping if the product is being manufactured...

...She's Counting on You! If you’ve ever been a part of a bridal party, you know there is a lot more to it than just looking great on the wedding day. If the bride has been gracious enough to ask you to stand with her on the biggest day of her life, you have to fulfill your duties should you say yes. Some brides may lay out exactly what they expect from you while others may assume you already know the tasks of being an awesome bridesmaid. If you are assuming the responsibility of a bridesmaid you should know what is expected of you. The bridal party is typically expected to be a pillar of support by helping complete wedding tasks, help plan bridal showers and parties, and making sure that the wedding day goes off without a hitch! Possibly the most important part of being a bridesmaid is being supportive of the bride. This is a general statement, but bridesmaid’s true scope of duties can change from bride to bride. You will not only need to lend your time but surely an ear throughout the wedding planning. Supporting the bride can begin with helping her pick out the perfect dress for her wedding day. Staying with this example, you would need to make yourself available to go with her to go shopping. Once you are with her, be sure to give her an honest opinion of the dresses she is trying on- if she asks. You know your friend better than anyone. If it will hurt her to judge the way she looks in the dress, then it may not be supportive to offer your opinion and advice. If you’ve...

One should weigh all the pros and cons of mutual funds namely, criteria for selecting stocks, the fund managers, and track record. Katherine Maclem (2004) states...

...Introduction The key to a good WBS and WBS Dictionary is the engagement of project team members to comprehensively identify and discuss activities for the project. A Project Manager must ensure that all the work that needs to be accomplished for the project is contained within the WBS Dictionary and is understood by team members. All work should have clearly defined duration, resources, dependencies, and level of effort (Cleland, 1990). A Project Manager should elicit feedback from all team members to ensure that the WBS and WBS Dictionary are valid and comprehensive prior to developing the detailed schedule. The project manager, has been asked to plan the wedding for his niece. Explain why you chose to organize your WBS in the manner you did. There are three reasons why the WBS is setup in the manner it is for this wedding project. The first is that is helps more accurately and specifically define and organize the scope of the total project. The most common way this is done is by using a hierarchical tree structure. See figure 1 below for a graphical representation of the WBS. The figure shows two level due to size of the project. Appendix A contains the WBS showing all three levels in a tabular format as a requisite for this assignment. Each level of this structure breaks the project deliverables or objectives down to more specific and measurable chunks.
