Business Plan Software

Come hell or high water, I will unveil my business idea Sunday evening. So, for the time being, I thought I’d take the time to update you on my business plan and the software that I’m using.

More Business Plan Stuff

Lately, as I have become more and more discouraged with the progress of our business plan, I have tried to find ways to simplify the process of putting everything together. Today, I think I found my solution.
I’ve downloaded the trial version of the Ultimate Business Plan Starter, published by ABS Online. So far, I [...]

Business Plan Update, Sort Of…

Not much to report tonight.
