SUMMARY:Writing Your Business Plan
DESCRIPTION:A business plan is more than just a document   it's your roadmap to success.\n\nA strong business plan helps keep you focused\, reach your goals and is critical if you plan to seek financing for your business. Many business owners don't have a business plan because they just don't know where to start. This class breaks down each section of the business plan\, from the executive summary to financial projections\, with tools and resources to guide you along the way.  Whether you're just starting a business\, need funding\, or just finally have time to focus\, this class will help you create an effective business plan to guide your business for years to come.\n \n\nLEARN HOW TO:\n\n-Use the business plan tool or template that works for you\n\n-Understand and explain who your target customer is\n\n-Start with your company description and proceed step-by-step to finish your business plan\n\n-Strategically position your business using a written plan\n\n-Incorporate a strong financial foundation into your business plan\n \n\nProgram Instructor\n \n\nTerence Strong graduated with a degree in Finance from Emory University and over the next 10 years built a career in international finance\, partnerships and philanthropy at the World Bank\, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Rockefeller Foundation. He then successfully co-founded\, raised capital for and scaled a venture-funded e-commerce startup in the bath and body industry\, while teaching marketing\, finance\, strategy and customer development at a globally recognized tech accelerator. He brings years of experience on both sides of the entrepreneurial table as a financier and founder with a passion for community development\, consumer products and early-stage venture development.
