INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A lean startup business plan is an easy way to summarize your business vision succinctly. Search online to find free templates to follow to make the writing process simpler. This form of business plan is typically only one page, and should include:  A summary of what other businesses you will be working with, such as suppliers and vendors. A list of the key activities that your business will engage in to be profitable and competitive. A breakdown of your business' best resources and assets. An outline of how your business will interact with clients and attract new ones. A description of your target market. A summary of your cost structure and predicted revenue streams. If you are located in the U.S. and  plan to hire employees for your company, you will need to get an EIN, which is a federal tax number that identifies your business. To obtain one, visit the IRS website and complete an online application. Once you are done, save and print your confirmation notice for future reference.  Apply for your EIN number at https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp. You will be given your EIN number immediately after completing your application. Visit your state's website for information on how to obtain a business license. In most states, you will be able to file online or print a form to mail in. Pay the applicable fees, which will vary by state. Incorporating your event planning business means that you are protected from personal liability with regard to your company's debts and contracts. Contact the state office that is responsible for registering corporations in your state to get detailed instructions and relevant paperwork to fill out. You can file for incorporation with help from a lawyer, or save money by doing it yourself with the help of books and software. Contact reputable insurance companies to get advice and quotes for the coverage plans that would best suit your business. You might be required by state law to purchase a particular type of insurance based on the nature of your business. Compare the rates, terms, and benefits offered by each company to make the best choice. Visit your state's website to see the specific insurance requirements for your type of business. As an event planner you will have to present many contracts to clients and vendors, and sign some from others. Hire an attorney who can help you draft standard form contracts to use, and to review incoming contracts for you. For cheaper hourly rates, opt for an attorney from a smaller law firm. Your goal when starting an event planning company should be to hire at least 2-3 employees to help cover all of the work involved in pulling off an event. Advertise your job offers at local schools that offer event planning or hospitality courses, as well as on social media.  For instance, look for LinkedIn Groups that are related to event planning and advertise your job offers there. You can expand your work team as your company grows, or if you start planning larger events that require more labour. Employee tasks may include calling or visiting vendors, decorating and organizing event venues, speaking to new clients, handling advertising and social media accounts, and supervising the events. A huge part of the event planning business involves signing contracts with clients and vendors. Written contracts should be negotiated with every supplier for an event and kept on file to handle any potential issues or disagreements that might arise. Work out a paper or digital filing system to keep track of these documents, which will allow you to operate your business in an orderly fashion.

SUMMARY: Write a startup business plan. Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) online. Apply for a city business license online or by mail. Incorporate your business. Get business insurance. Hire an attorney to help you with business contracts. Recruit employees from local schools or online networks. Set up filing system for contracts and other important documents.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Exercising for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week can quickly and substantially drop your blood pressure. You can get exercise through both athletic activities and common chores.  Before increasing the amount of exercise you do in a day, you should ask your doctor for guidance. Increasing your physical activity too dramatically can actually put you at greater risk of heart attack or stroke. Power walking is one of the simplest exercises you can add to your routine. Walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes can lower your blood pressure by nearly 8 mmHg. Other athletic activities you can try include volleyball, touch football, shooting baskets, bicycling, dancing, water aerobics, swimming, and jumping rope. Helpful chores include washing the car, washing windows and floors, gardening, raking leaves, shoveling snow, and walking up and down stairs. Slow, meditative breathing relaxes the body, causing it to produce more nitric oxide and fewer stress hormones.  Nitric oxide opens up the blood vessels, thereby reducing your blood pressure. Stress hormones elevate renin, a kidney enzyme linked to high blood pressure. Take at least five minutes in the morning and five minutes to focus on inhaling deeply, taking deep "belly breaths" each time. For an even more pronounced effect on blood pressure, consider learning formal meditation, doing yoga, or trying Qigong or tai chi. Working over 40 hours per week increases your risk of developing high blood pressure. If you need to quickly lower your blood pressure, you should try shaving off a little time from your work schedule when possible. This is especially significant if your job is notably hectic or stressful. Stress hormones cause your blood vessels to constrict, which only makes it harder for your heart to pump blood through them. As a result, your blood pressure rises. Listening to soothing music for 30 minutes daily can help drop blood pressure, especially if done in conjunction with deep breathing techniques and hypertension medication.  Choose soothing music, like classical, Celtic, or Indian music. After as little as one week, your systolic reading can drop. Nicotine is one culprit behind high blood pressure. If you smoke or are around people who smoke, cutting this from your life is one way to quickly drop your blood pressure. Smoking increases your blood pressure 10 mmHg or more up to an hour after you smoke. If you smoke continually, your blood pressure will be continually elevated. The same effect applies to people who are continually around smokers.

SUMMARY: Set aside 30 minutes for moderate-level exercise. Take a deep breath. Reduce the number of hours you spend working. Listen to music. Quit smoking.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A printed crop top and skirt (or slacks) set is a trendy, flattering style perfect for parties or even school dances. If you pair a printed top with a printed bottom, make sure the prints match exactly! Patterns that are even slightly off will clash. Tie-front tops give a cute, retro vibe and cover a bit more skin than the usual crop top--just a bit of skin will show over your bottoms. You can also make your own tie-front top by tying up a button-down shirt. This is a great way to ease into the crop top look, since you can make the top as short or long as you want. A loose, maxi- or midi-length skirt looks lovely with a short, fitted crop top. Look for one that sits above your belly button on your natural waist for a flattering look for all body types. Looser, high-waisted pants can also pair nicely with a short crop top. Nude or matching high heels or wedges are a must to make your crop top work for a nice party. Add elegance to the look with tasteful jewelry, like pearls or a thin necklace and bracelets. An all-black crop top plus dark leggings or jeans makes for a sleek look, perfect for a night of going out. Pair it with a sporty, zip-up jacket to cover up a bit more, and finish the look with some high black boots.

SUMMARY:
Choose a printed top and bottom set for a put-together look. Try a tie-front top for a summery, more conservative look. Wear a long, loose skirt or high-waisted pants. Pair your crop top with heels or wedges. Accessorize with pretty jewelry. Go with a dark, fitted crop top and bottoms for a night out.
