Calling all busy solopreneurs, time-crunched mompreneurs, passionate artisans, and creative craftsmen - finally a business plan book for the rest of us! Rather than talk at you about how you need to be 'diligent and build a comprehensive plan,' this workbook makes business planning accessible to small business entrepreneurs no matter what your background. This is the perfect guide for aspiring entrepreneurs as well as for those of you who already started your businesses but never got around to creating a business plan (you know who you are!). This workbook isn't just a reference guide that will take up space on a shelf. Its practical design will help you roll up your sleeves and dive into your business plan. Targeted questions and step-by-step exercises guide you through the main business planning components and there's plenty of room to scribble notes and jot down ideas. Numerous graphics help make key business concepts easy to understand and are followed by templates that you can use as you organize your business ideas. The end result, after completing this workbook, is an actionable business plan that will help guide your business today, tomorrow, and in the future. (Please note, this workbook is designed to help you create a business plan that will help drive your business strategy. This workbook, while being a good first step, is not comprehensive enough for those looking to build a business plan to take to investors/lenders).
