How to create an operating blueprint for keeping a small business on track.

Too many small business owners are unwilling to take time away from starting and running their companies to develop an actual plan for these companies. This decision to "wing it" causes countless businesses to fail in their early years. This book takes a fresh approach to creating an operating plan. Written in plain English by small business guru Terri Lonier, it accommodates the limited time owners can devote to this task, as well as their requirements and goals.

Includes templates for establishing a solid plan that can be periodically updated to keep the business on course.

Offers powerful, easy–to–use tools for creating strategies for marketing, finance, administration and more.
