| Customer Reviews: Includes Hundreds of Sample Business Plans February 22, 2010 C. C. Mantis (Seattle) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
While only a few sample business plans actually come with the CD, when you click on the Resources Link within the software you have access to hundreds more plans.
Of course this is just the beginning of your business plan making. Once the right plan is picked, then you'll need to research and customize to your business particulars.
When I did my first business plan some years ago (without the aid of such software) I learned a very hard lesson I'll pass on for what it's worth. It's not the size of the plan, nor the particulars within the plan that count, it's the fire in you that will drive you to success. When I started shopping my first BP to venture capitalists I kept getting the runaround claiming I should do this and change that to better align the business with their objectives. I found myself re-writing my plan more than once to accommodate these 'suggestions.'
In the end I had to close down my small tech company for lack of funds. I took my eye off the company ball and put way too much focus on chasing the money ball.
When you develop your business plan, it is your baby. Don't let anyone come back at you with 'their ideas' of how you business should be. Instead, spend your time and resources making sure you have the level of product/service that satisfies you and your customer base. Focus on what business you are really in, who your customers are and what do they value. Once you have a going concern, the money will not be hard to acquire.
Treat your business plan as a moving target and never get too wrapped up in absolutely following it. The biggest gift of business planing is forcing you to think through all the processes of your business.
Once you get your plan done, then use that information as a basis to create your own unique storyline. Build two presentations around this storyline - your 'elevator pitch' will be very short and to the point and your money presentation to be given to those who might want to invest. I call them the 20/10 pair. Twenty seconds to whet someone's appetite and 10 minutes to reel them in.
And never give up . . .
Learn from Micheal Jordon: He was cut from his high school basketball team - then went on to become the greatest basketball player of all time.
