Register here: https://tinyurl.com/j4y25uf6.

Are you looking to build a successful business of your own, either full-time or part-time? Or do you have an existing small business that needs to grow? Either way, you will need to put together a “business plan.” Many books have been written about business plans, but for most small businesses it all boils down to asking – and finding the answers to – twelve very specific questions. 

You will learn:

• the four steps to building a marketing plan
• the two reasons (there are only two) why anyone buys anything
• how to identify your business competitors and come up with winning competitive strategies
• whether or not you need business partners, and (if you do) how to pick them
• the two places (there are only two) where you can find money to grow your business
• how to deal with business risks and threats before they become overwhelming
