1) The Zen of Business Plans
How to Change the World by Guy Kawasaki
In my day job, I not only hear a lot of PowerPoint pitches, but I also read a lot of business plans. The PowerPoint pitches explain my Meniere's disease, but the business plans explain my recent need for reading glasses. One of my goals for blogging is to reduce the external factors that are causing the degradation of my body, so this entry's topic is the zen of business plans.

2) Quick Start Business Planning
Quick-Start Business Planning for Small Businesses by Susan Ward
Business planning is like water to a thirsty plant. It keeps our businesses vital and thriving. Without business planning, your business will never be as healthy as it could be and may even sicken and die. But many small business owners don't do the business planning they should, because they're hard-pressed to find the time to do it. How many times have you thought that you should do some business planning - if only you weren't so busy taking care of business! |

3) Marketing Plans Before Business Plans
Marketing Profs Daily Fix by Mike Schultz
Often times, businesses don't need a plan. That's why they don't have one. Why? Strategy at professional services firms is different than strategy at other types of companies. At many firms, strategy boils down to a set of industries to target, services to offer, and geographies to serve. |

5) The Magic Ten For a Business Plan
NAFASG
Being your own boss is the goal that everyone in every walk of life wants to achieve. Most of us would believe that setting up a business is the gateway to attaining that goal. But it does not just take self-belief to make a business materialize. You need to be affirmed of it! That affirmation can only be concrete if you pen your thoughts of your ideal business down. In other words, you would need a business plan. |

6) The Business Plan of Life
Dream Think Act by Edith Yeung
I went to my friend's Patrick's meetup group event tonight and their guest speaker was Jim Horan, the guy who wrote this book called "The One Page Business Plan". The concept was simple. Just one page. While you are developing this one page plan, you will start asking yourself some really simple but important questions about your business. |

7) Stupid Question: When *WILL* Having A Business Plan Matter?
Deep Jive Interests by Tony Hung
I only ask because, as you may or may not have heard, the ambient broadcasting / continuous partial attention phenomenon that is Twitter has stepped up to the big leagues and has acquired VC funding - so that it may continue to expand its Twittering services and provide this valuable service to more and more people at a great price. |

8) How I Stopped Listening To Experts And Started Making Money
Self Made Chick by Christine OKelly
If I could trade all of the time I have spent writing business plans in my life for something that actually generated income, I’d probably be a lot further ahead. I have been working on starting businesses part time for most of my life and most of those ideas never got out of the idea stage because I spent too much time planning and not enough time pulling the freakin’ trigger! |

9) How to Write a Business Plan
Bizcovering by Devora Sage
"To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands..." Sun Tzu, The Art of War. Before you can hope for success in business, you need to know exactly what else you want: Where do you want to go? When do you want to get there? How do you want to travel? And what's your starting point? A solid business plan is your first step on the road to success. |

10) Plan As You Go Business Planning
Small Business Trends Radio by Staci Wood
The fundamentals of business are still the same. Except that now business is valued on Internet traffic as opposed to actual dollars. But planning, implementing, reviewing, revising, strategizing - it's all still the same. |
