No one can build anything substantial without a
complete plan. That is just as true of a business as it is of
a skyscraper. To complete a project you've got to know
what to expect from it - what it takes to get it started - how
to operate it once it begins, and above all - how much
money it is going to take to finish what you start successfully.
There are many books and other reports that
show how to write business plans to be used in obtaining
loans or capital - but these are summary plans that go into
the broad aspects of business operation - the strategy if
you will, of the business program. But the builder needs to
have detailed - step by step operating plans in order to do
a proper job.
The New Venture Planner - starts with goals -
personal and business goals, and carries you right on
through the organizing process - the setting up of books
and records - finding the best location - getting licenses
and permits - setting up proper controls in
>> purchasing,
>> inventory management,
>> personnel management,
>> insurance,
>> security,
>> credit ,
>> collection, etc.
You learn everything you need to know to get
your business started and operating properly - right down
to the final chapter that will show you how to use the
information you compiled to get a loan or raise more
capital if needed.
The New Venture Planner was not written by a
professor, lawyer or banker. It was written by a small
businessman - who has started and operated over 100small businesses in his lifetime - and who writes in plain,
simple english so anyone can understand and use The
New Venture Planner successfully!
The key to successful management and operation
of any business is knowing exactly what needs to be
done - and to understand the proper order of things.
Unless the entrepreneur writes the plan - or has a plan
written for him or her - this process must be learned by trial
and error and that is expensive at best, and fatal to the
business at worst.
Few people who have ever been in business
understand the complexity and amount of detail the
entrepreneur must deal with. |
