Event description

You know that having a business plan is important for presenting to investors, applying for a loan, recruiting your management team, building your board of advisors, establishing relationships with partners, and running your operations.

But the business plan books, software, and Web articles don't tell you what you really need to know to write yours.

These seven secrets cover critical points in both the content of a plan and the process of writing it -- secrets that will unblock your inner writer and help you look like the master business strategist you know you are.

NOTE: The same presentation will be given in Seattle on Monday evening, April 27, 2009.

    Great meeting! Bryan Brewer is obviously a foremost authority on the subject, and led both an informative and entertaining session. The Thinkspace venue was a great place to hold this as well.
