Discover how to craft a bulletproof business plan with minimal effort even it's your first time.

Having a great idea isn’t enough to launch a multi-million-dollar business.

Let’s face it, investors don’t put money in ideas. They need concrete evidence that they’ll get return on their investment, and a good business plan gives them such information.

Do you have a hard time figuring out how to get a business plan down on paper?

Are you tired and confused by all the business jargon, just wanting a straightforward how-to guide outlining exactly what you need to do?

Business plans are the heart and soul of a successful company – they give you focus and operational clarity that can kick major mistakes to the curb. No matter how good your business idea is, you will need a plan to create a solid foundation before going on the market or trying to get investors on board.

Did you know that even science says you need a business plan to make your startup a success?

One study found out that companies with a business plan grow 30% faster than competitors! In addition, startups with a business plan achieve more sustainable success in the long run.

So, what’s the secret to writing a business plan like a seasoned pro or a Fortune 500 company CEO?

It’s not something you’ll learn in business school, as experience shows a completely different side of running a business. For best results, you need to learn from someone who’s already been there and who has conquered the almighty business plan.

In How to Write a Winning Business Plan, you will discover:

• What a business model canvas is and 4 reasons why you should be using it

• How a great idea dies in the absence of good organization and the one thing to do about it

• 9 business plan building blocks to put organizational specifics in place

• Surefire ways to overcome financial conundrums and secure the investment needed to help your business thrive

• Ways in which successful CEOs mitigate business startup risks

• A bulletproof technique to write a killer value proposition

• Tactics for pinpointing the right customers and reaching them through the power of marketing

• A comprehensive guide to understand your business model in a structured way

• How to analyze the competition if you want to benefit from some competitive advantage

And much more.

Most guides focusing on business plan creation are rather vague, abstract, and non-specific. By relying on those, you’ll never put together a tailored strategic document that will set you up for success from day one.

The methodology you’ll find in How to Write a Winning Business Plan is derived from reality and analysis of the best corporate organizational approaches out there.

It doesn’t matter what field you operate in or how big you want to grow. This methodology is the way to understand your business better, putting together realistic expectations and goals for the future.
