The key to a successful business startup is a good business plan. In his ebook, "Business Planning Secrets Revealed," Mike Elia takes you step-by-step through the business planning process: from gathering evidence to make your plan, to delivering your plan to people qualified entrepreneur. His book provides the basic information you need to write a business plan. But the goal is to reveal how to communicate your plan to investors and convince them that your company is the best investment option. When I first opened the Business Plan Revealed, my heart sank. You see, I promised Mike to read his entire book before writing a review. And Business Strategy Secrets Revealed is no ordinary ebook with one-sentence paragraphs, capital letters, and borders. It is full of information!
But when I started reading, I was very surprised. Mike's writing style is engaging and effective, and his explanations make difficult concepts easy. Throughout the book, I felt like a friend was with me on the back porch, literally explaining how to do things. It is a simple practice that you can do only when you understand the subject well.
Mike's deep understanding of business strategy concepts is the result of over 20 years of experience. Mike helps business owners buy, sell and support their businesses. It manages manufacturing and sales centers in more than nine countries. He is a CPA, has a master's degree in business administration and has been the chief financial officer for two public companies.
Business Strategy Secrets Revealed begins with tips for gathering and organizing the information you'll need. From the beginning, Mike focused on overcoming your biggest challenge: closing the investor confidence gap. In the chapter "Show Me the Numbers", Mike provides some of the clearest explanations of the company's financial statements I've read. If concepts like equity or financial statements drive you crazy, then your salvation has come. The last chapter of Business Plan Secrets Revealed really delivers on Mike's promise to help you communicate your business plan effectively. There's a comprehensive guide to writing your business plan, including how to open and read your plan, and how to avoid nine writing mistakes. It explains how choosing the right layout can make your business plan easier to read. Mike concludes by telling you how to prepare for a serious investor, including creating a 60 second pitch for your business. Tips for finding investors in the real estate sector flip the book.
I must admit that many times when I read, I think, "I really need that many business plans?" This is not a fill in the blanks and publishing business plan solution. And then I realized that if I really want to be successful, then I need to know what I can do about my business from the beginning. Before I started spending money. Before I put myself in line at the market.
Besides, I read the whole book. And I agree that Mike delivers on the title of the page: he teaches you how to gather evidence quickly, to build a case for your business, to write a readable plan that attracts investors to do to your business choice for business. Even if you have other business plan resources, I can highly recommend Business Plan Secrets Revealed.
