article: A common "go-to" for letting someone down gently is telling them, "But we can still be friends!" Only tell them this if you mean it. If you have no interest in being friends, you don't have to extend the offer out of courtesy. Sometimes, going separate ways is best for both people. You might not know this person well enough to maintain a friendship, and their feelings might be raw enough to prevent developing a friendship with you. Ask yourself: what value will this friendship have for this person? What about myself? What is the best course of action for us both? Feelings do not always leave quickly, and your former date may have a hard time letting go. Without healthy boundaries, this person might keep holding out hope in a relationship. Let this person know what your limits are, and stick to them. Be direct with them if they break the boundaries. Examples of limits might be: no intimate physical contact, no asking for more dates, or no flirting. Even if you want to maintain the relationship, constantly turning the other person down may become draining. The other person might also feel emotionally exhausted and unfulfilled in your relationship. Tell the person if you'd like to spend time apart, and tell them directly why. Although this person's feelings deserve to be validated, they do not inherently deserve to be reciprocated. Avoid people who feel "entitled" to another date.

article: A basic pricing method requires that you determine the full cost of running your business and price your product in such a way as to keep your business in the black. So, the first thing you need to do is calculate how much it costs to run your business. These costs can be further divided into direct and indirect costs. Add up your:   Direct costs are those which are immediately associated with doing business. These costs get directly assigned to your products and services you provide. Labor costs Marketing costs Manufacturing costs (cost of raw materials, equipment, etc.)    Indirect costs are things associated with keeping things running, and the day to day. These are sometimes thought of as the hidden or even “true cost” of running a business. Operating expenses (including rent on your building, utilities, etc.) Debt service costs Return on any investment capital Cleaning and office supplies Your own salary " The only reason to start a business is to make money, and specifically to make enough money to keep the venture a successful enterprise. For this reason, you need to set a point at which you would consider the business successful, your success point, and add that figure to your expenses to determine how much revenue you need to generate from sales.  Once you know how much money you need to make for the business to be successful, then you can start getting some sense of what a successful price would be for your product. It may take some number of years to master your market. Another major figure that you need to determine is how much merchandise you might reliably sell in a given period. This will be determined by your customers' buying tendencies. Identify your customer base and their buying tendencies. How much do they desire your particular product? Is there a demand for it? Be as specific as possible in your discussion of numbers. How much is it possible to sell, given your current resources? How much do you need to sell to maintain the visibility and success of your current model? What might need to be changed?  Divide your success point by the number of units you think might be reliably sold to determine a price guideline, per unit. This isn't necessarily to say that this should be the price, but this is a good number to start experimenting with and seeing how your customers will respond. Provide genuine customer service, not just lip service. If you sell custom-made iPhone cases, are there other companies that provide similar services? Where? How much do their products cost? How is their company run? You need to learn everything you can about your competition so you can learn to differentiate yourself from their model to get your share of the common market.  Say you're one of two frozen yogurt stands in your town, and you can't figure out why your $7 a cup (cheap for the ingredients!) organic coconut rosemary kefir isn't bringing in the masses, while the "Dairy Queen" across town sells regular chocolate cones like they're going out of style. You need to be familiar with their prices and their customer base so you can stay competitive and stay relevant. Do you share the same customer base? Is there another customer base you might tap into and market to, to make your business more viable? Is anyone ever going to be willing to pay your prices? These are important questions for a successful business to consider when pricing. Use a search engine to research your competition. Social media and the internet have changed the ways customers find business.

Almost all app-creation programs will require you to create an account and log in before you can get to work. You may need to download software, or apps may be created entirely through the website. After logging into the creation tools or downloading the creation software, you will need to start a new project. The process varies from program to program, but generally involves naming your app a name and description. Most app development programs will ask you to set a basic theme and color palette before you begin building the app. You will be able to change these choices later once the app is under construction. You may be able to add your own images for screen backgrounds. These images should typically be 1024 X 768 px. Most app creation programs work by letting you add prebuilt functions into your app. The combination of these functions and how they link together is what will make your app yours. There are a variety of different functions you can add to your app, including calendars, photo galleries, podcasts, Facebook integration, audio players, and more.  Typically, each one of these functions will be its own screen on your app. As you add functions, you will be able to customize each screen with your own text and content. For example, if you add an RSS feed function, you can link to your blog's feed and automatically populate the app with your latest posts. After you've added a few functions to your app, spend some time organizing the layout of each screen so that you have a cohesive look for your app. Your title bars should all be in the same location, and content should appear in consistent parts of the screen. Different app creation programs will give you different levels of control over how everything is laid out. Some apps only let you add completely prebuilt functions, while others allow you to drag and rearrange each element on the screen. You will have the opportunity to assign icons to each of your app's functions. Many app creation programs have a library of icons you can choose from, or you can design and upload your own. Good icons will help set your app apart and contribute to the overall feel of the app.
