Business-plan

That's the message of this book. It takes the reader step-by-step through the things that need to be in place for a company - and a business plan - to be fundable. Then, shows how to assemble a winning business plan from a strong venture. Easy to follow, great results.

My shelf is filled with books by the experts on marketing plans. Pay attention to this outstanding book if you fit one of these categories: 1)small business, 2)entrepreneur or 3) structuring a startup to take to market or raise money. This book offers a simple, comprehensive system that finds the balance between the complexity required by a major corporation and the ease of use needed for a rookie to marketing plan design. Lots of fantastic examples and fast, easy reading. Best investment in a book on this topic I've ever discovered.

Well, I paid $6.00 for this ebook. I am very disappointed. The "book" is a 12 page adobe file that is basically useless. If I had it to do over, I would have saved the $6.

I was disappointed with this book because I had thought it would be broader and relate to all kinds of businesses. But this book is very specific to the entrepreneur starting up his or her own business, only. Its examples are mostly of home-based businesses or small sole proprietorships. The writing is sometimes condescending and assumes you know nothing whatsoever about finances and investments (which may be good for some readers). It includes several chapters of additional information for start-up companies which take up a significant portion of the book and have little or nothing at all to do with writing a business plan. I feel like this book is mistitled and would be better named, "Mike's Guide to Founding and Funding your Own Business."

If you are a biz start-up novice and aren't sure what you need to do to get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper in a logical, well-organized manner...you need this book. If you have a business plan to write and think you might get hung up on the finance section...you need this book. If you have an idea for a business and don't know what to do next...get this book.

While this book may not be for the MBA grad, it is for the entrepreneur who is breaking on the scene with a dream that they have to make happen. How to Write a Business Plan must have used as it's mantra, "baby steps, baby steps in the right direction." Take a project that can be overwhelming and use this book to go through the process in manageable steps.

Napoleon Hill said it and so did Robert Kiyosaki...every successful business starts with an idea. Are you ready...why just sit there thinking about your great idea...why not go ahead and make it happen?!?

This book is one that we at nichemarket recommend highly in our Booklist for any Hip Hop Entrepreneur serious about a career in the music industry or any business venture!
