Demystifying Business Plans

 Business plans are important, but many entrepreneurs are intimidated by them.  But business plans aren’t that hard – they are just unfamiliar and we are uncomfortable with unfamiliar things.  This podcast simplifies the concept of business plans, strips them of their mystique, and makes them something that you can grab hold of and use.  

In this podcast you’ll learn.

•  What a vision statement really is and how to write one for your business.
• What a mission statement really is and how to write one for your business.
• How a vision and mission statement can help you focus and write your business plan
• How to “chunk it down”!   How to break the process of achieving your vision into manageable pieces you can take action on right away.
• We will look at some examples of great vision and mission statements, 
• We will actually walk through a simple business plan illustration that will clarify the process
•  and finally, we will actually create a business plan.

 Wow that’s a lot, but we got it all done in just 25 minutes.
