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.

    Thank you, Bryan, for hosting this event again. I am sooooo looking forward to your Pearls of Wisdom. I've been struggling w/a plan and I might be overthinking the process. Need advice about sources for things too.... R

    Hi Bryan,

    I've been meaning to get in touch since our brief conversation at NWEN some months ago - how wonderful to find you on Biznik and get a chance to attend your seminar! I'm looking forward to it.

    Thank you for the great presentation, Bryan. It seemed like every minute was packed with useful, professional-quality information. I came away with some good ideas of what to do with my own business plan, plus bonus tips on running a successful company. A well spent couple of hours!
