Free Business Plan Advice and Coaching
I’ve put literally thousands of pages, blog posts, articles, presentations, and even two complete books where you can get them, free, on the web…
- My blog Planning Startups Stories. The business planning category includes more than 200 posts. Three of them are among the list of my favorites, and two of them among the list of the all-time most popular posts.
- I also blog at Amex OPEN Forum, Small Business Trends, and Huffington Post.
My book The Plan-As-You-Go Business Plan, published by Entrepreneur Press, is posted free, in its entirety, on the web. My earlier book Hurdle: the Book on Business Planning, is also posted free on the web.
- I’ve written hundreds of articles and dozens of sample business plans at bplans.com.
- I judge business plan competitions including the University of Oregon’s New Venture Championship, the Rice Business Plan Competition, and the University of Texas Venture Labs Competition (formerly moot corp). My comments, reviews, opinions and suggestions are part of the judging process.
- Click here to send me an email question. If it’s an interesting question, I might (no promises) answer it on my blog.
And if you want more, great! I’d love to help you more. Here are the other options:
- Almost-free business plan help: I’ve poured my life’s work into books and software available for the price of a lunch (books) or a good dinner (software).
