Power Up Your Business Profits With a Painless
Plan
Poulsbo, WA: The idea of writing a business plan can
make many small business owners long for something less painful—such as a root
canal. There is no need for such dread, according to local business coach Maria
Marsala, creator of the “Power Up Your Business Profits!” workshop. “Creating
a plan for your business can be a fun and painless process. Most small business owners keep their
plans in their own heads,” says
Marsala. “The One Page Business
Plan® process helps you
get your plan on paper so you can make it a reality.”
Marsala is teaming up with Heavenly Choices to offer
the workshop to alternative health practitioners on October 6, 2005, from 6:30-9 PM. The workshop is based on
the best-selling The One Page
Business Plan® a
workbook by Jim Horan, based on his work as a CFO of Fortune 500
companies. Susan Johnson partner in Heavenly Choices says "Having a good business plan that supports us is critical to the health and wealth of our business and it serves as a road map to allow us to travel where we wish to go versus just ending up someplace that may not have the “view” we are looking for."
“The leading cause of small business failure is
inadequate planning,” says Marsala. In this workshop, Marsala, licensed The One Page Business Plan® consultant, will lead
you through the process of turning your good intentions into a very concise, yet
very powerful business tool. These deceptively simple business plans include a
marketing plan and ways to monitor your business success. “I so strongly believe
in the One-Page process that once my clients complete theirs, I send them a
frame to put them in. I want it to
be the first thing they see when they go into their offices each day!" chuckles
Marsala.
“Many business owners believe they don't need a business
plan unless they are seeking funding," Marsala says. “Having a plan is even more
important when it is YOUR money, your dreams, and your livelihood at risk." You
probably don’t need a 25-page plan that will gather dust on a shelf. “Your One
Page plan will help you get real about your business, make better decisions and
prioritize your activities,” Marsala says. If you do seek investor funding then you
do need a larger plan to bring to the bank. You can save yourself time and
aggravation by creating a One Page Business Plan first and using it as the Executive
Summary of the larger plan."
