Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be ready to devote yourself to your craft. File for a distiller’s permit. Research your product extensively. Think about what you’re going to add to the market.

Answer: Owning any business is a extraordinary commitment. To make it as an entrepreneur, you must be willing to work seven days out of the week. This will often involve long, sleepless nights of coming up with new ideas and working out solutions to problems that spring up along the way. Before you take on the challenge, be sure that you have the determination to stick with it.  Your new distillery won’t be making any money in its infancy. Unless you have a benefactor or receive a sizable business loan, you’ll likely have to juggle the responsibilities of devising a business strategy while working other jobs to pay the rent. Speak to other entrepreneurs who have opened their own distilleries and ask if they have any helpful advice to share with you. There’s a lot of legal regulation surrounding breweries, distilleries and other businesses that manufacture and sell alcohol. First, you’ll have to obtain a distiller’s permit from the appropriate government agency. Following that, you’ll need to be approved for a liquor license and other applicable permits at the state or local level. Without the proper paperwork, you won’t be able to move forward with opening your distillery.  Those living in the United States can visit the website of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to complete the application process for a distiller's permit, as well as request additional information and materials.  The legal processes involved with starting a distillery are straightforward, but can be time-consuming. It’s best to get started as soon as you’ve made up your mind to pursue your goal. To be the best you can possibly be at what you do, you’ll need to become a walking encyclopedia of liquor-related knowledge. Sample as many liquors as you can, visit other distilleries and keep your eyes and ears open for new developments in the industry. Always be looking to expand your knowledge on both the practical and business end of things.  Get in the habit of trying new brands and brews regularly. You should have a wealth of firsthand experience to be able to articulate the differences between your product and others. Attend distillery festivals and special events whenever possible. These types of events usually feature an enormous selection of craft spirits, and can provide a great hands-on learning opportunity. What can you do to make your distillery stand out among your competitors? You might plan on employing an inventive hybrid distilling method or incorporating never-before-seen ingredients into the mix. Or perhaps you’re determined to introduce people who don’t drink gin to the beverage in an enjoyable way. Whatever your approach may be, you should aim to proceed with a clear purpose in mind.  If you’re unable to come up with a clear answer to this question, you’ll likely have a harder time turning your brand into something truly special. While trying other liquors, make a list of what works, what’s missing and what could be done better. Direct comparison will put you on the right track to crafting a beverage that hits all the right notes.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Thank your casting director when you have finished. Congratulate yourself on every audition, whether or not you got the part. Don't take it personally if you are not casted. Learn from your mistakes.

Answer: Tell the casting director and anyone else watching that you appreciate their time and look forward to hearing back. Smile, shake their hands if offered, and walk out with your head held high. Last impressions are just as important as first impressions for projecting a confident atmosphere. Auditioning takes a great deal of courage and self-confidence. Pat yourself on the back for putting yourself out there, and take pride in doing your best. Rejection can weigh you down. If you're not careful, it can even decrease your confidence in future auditions. Feeling disappointed is normal, but remember that you can't read the casting director's mind. You don't know how they came upon their decisions. Auditioning is more than finding the best performers: it's also choosing people who fit the part. They may not have been looking for someone who looks like you or acts like you.You might not be a good fit for this production, but you have other opportunities. For example, Tom Hiddleston makes an excellent Loki, but he initially tried out for the role of Thor. His audition was rejected because he just didn't have what the directors were looking for. You might not be the right fit for this piece, but you could fit perfectly somewhere else. If you have a bad audition, write down all of your thoughts afterwards. What did you do right? What could have gone better? Make your weaknesses strengths so that you'll be ready for your next audition. If you think you need professional help, hire an performance coach or attend local workshops. With experience comes improvement. You can't help but improve when you train.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Don’t make it awkward. Don’t just stand there. Keep your arms away from their neck and head. Don’t lift her up unless she asks.

Answer: You don’t have to apologize for being tall, and the girl you’re hugging doesn’t have to apologize for being short. There’s no need to say “Guess I’ll need to bend down” or “Sorry I’m so short.” Two people hugging will always recognize the size disparity between one another. However, there’s always room for some playful honesty in moments like this. It won’t hurt to be upfront and say “Okay, how would you like to do this?” Plenty of guys might overthink the situation and wonder if it isn’t better to just allow the girl to position herself however she’s comfortable and let their own arms rest wherever seems appropriate. This, however, isn’t really fair to whoever you’re hugging. Be sure to be proactive at the start of the hug.  As suggested, be sure to bend down if hugging from the front or move your arm(s) out when hugging for the side. It’s not a terrible instinct to allow the shorter person to position themselves, but you need to meet them halfway by doing some positioning yourself. In either a side hug or a front-facing hug, your arms may very well be at the level of the shorter person’s head. Since when two people of equal height hug they simply put their arms forward, the instinct is to do the same with any other hug. As you can imagine, having your head squeezed doesn’t really constitute a great hug. Unless the girl you’re hugging is your significant other, don’t assume that just because a girl a short and you’re tall that she'd like to be lifted into the air. Some might assume it’s a playful and comical way to address the height difference, but it can quickly turn into an uncomfortable experience for the person you’re hugging.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test your software product after the development phase. Gather a team of beta testers. Market your product. Determine the price point for your product.

Answer:
Establish a structured quality control and assurance process. This may involve a small team of developers testing each feature for smooth functioning on various operating systems, or bringing in new testers with fresh eyes to interact with the product. Write up a complete set of testing procedures and make sure all testers are following it to the letter. If steps are skipped it will not be a valid test. Allow a small and select team of end users to use your product to gauge its user-friendliness, effectiveness, accuracy and/or efficiency. Then fix all bugs and retest. Finalize your product by fixing all bugs and errors, and conduct a final test to ensure quality. Choose beta testers from industries that you previously determined have a need for your type of software. Hire a marketing firm or experienced marketing professionals to work for your company. Consult with such professionals during the product development process to help shape decisions about product features, uses and market audience.  Marketing professionals should be getting feedback on product features, etc., from potential customers rather than just from the software developers in your company. Develop a website and a Facebook page for your company when your product is ready to launch. Provide a lot of "teasers" about what is to come and what the software will be able to do for them. Compare it to similar products on the market. Then decide if you want to charge via a licensing fee, a time-limited subscription or per transaction by the end user. Licensing fees are usually a one-time charge for the life of the product, such as purchasing the current version of Microsoft Office. A time-limited subscription would be for a specific period of time before an additional charge is incurred. This would be appropriate if you foresee a lot of upgrades being released. Per transaction would be a charge every time the customer uses the software such as at a point of sale.
