Dear Entreprenuer,
I indeed remember the first business plan I ever
wrote. I tore my hair out for weeks, agonizing over what to include,
what to exclude, how to make it look good, what style writing to use, etc.,
etc. Good grief, I didn't even know what a "business plan" looked
like!
All I needed were a few good examples of business
plans, and I knew I could do it. But none were to be found.
| Maryann, I have to thank you. You should have
seen the look on my husband's face when I showed him the business plan
I wrote. He paid over $5,000 for his business plan a couple of
years ago, and mine is sooooo much better.

I finally discovered a seminar presented by a
guy named Dible.
Dible is the real granddaddy of business plans for small business. He
didn't have any actual examples of business plans in his book, but that book
must have weighed fifty pounds without examples. It was huge!
And business plans back then were huge too. My
first one ended up being nearly 100 pages. It covered every possible
contingency in the business, and then invented a few. That was just
the style back then.
Well, the business plan world has come a long way,
baby. We've gotten streamlined. We've gotten spot on with solid
facts and information. We've grown up.
When I started this website, I knew I wanted to give
my guests a better shot at a great business plan than I had. And
I didn't want my visitors to pay for a seminar like the one I went to,
which, as I recall, was decidedly on the pricey side. So I set out to
collect all the free business plan examples that I could and put them together in
this publication:

And the other half?
They are just as great!
It is important for you to see a
lot of different kinds of business plan examples because you need to find the ones that
match your style.
Hey, Business Plan Master,
My SBA guy said that I have everything he needs! Cool.

All sorts of different
organizations and people wrote these successful business plans, so you will
have your choice of a wide variety of styles. Odds are that, instead of
using just one business proposal, you will pick something from one successful
business plan, then
pick something else from another business plan template, and pick even something else from a third
plan, making it entirely your own.
And that is as it should be.
Create your own great business
plan from these great examples of a business plan, with lots and
lots of inspiration.
And it is none
too soon. Business plans have become far more important now than they have
been for a long, long time.
We've gotten lazy in the 21st century. And
spoiled.
And now it has come back to haunt us.
We seem to assume that we don't need great
business plans any more. Well, it just ain't so.
During the hey days of the '90s and early 2000's,
the economy was flourishing, and businesses were being funded left and right.
I wish I could say that the same thing is happening now. But it just
isn't.
It is a tough economy now. Banks are being
more severely regulated than ever before, and so they need better documentation
than ever before. Without that documentation (i.e., GREAT BUSINESS PLAN)
they just can't fund your business. Period. No explanations.
No, "Sorry". Nothing. You just won't get funding.
So you and Joe Banker golf together?
Knowing "The Banker" isn't what it's cracked up to
be either. Joe can't skip part of the review just because he thinks you're
a nice guy. Besides,
Joe isn't even the one making the decision.
The decision will be made by a bunch of faceless analysts "down town".
It's always "down town", wherever that is.
It's those faceless analysts "down town" that you
need to impress. Joe can't do that for you. You've got to do it
yourself.
If I were funding a business today, I would grab
onto these examples of a business plan, and start studying them.
Right Now.
I would not pass GO.
I would not collect so much as $100 without
getting my business plan really in shape.
And that's what I recommend for you.
The price is a pittance -- a mere US $19.00.
And
there are over 400 business plans to take a look at.

Card
I'll see you on the "funded" side of the road!
Best,
p.s. - Yes, this really is a secure transaction. We work
with PayPal and e-Junkie, two great businesses.
