Review
"The One Page Business Plan is an easy-to-use process that helps you capture your vision and translate it into concrete results. Jim has truly streamlined a tiresome, complicated chore. With a return to simple values, simple truths, planning can be fun and creative. A little chicken soup for busy minds and tired souls!" -- Tim Clauss, Co-Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work
"The One Page Business Plan is an out and out winner. Period. It makes great sense to me as a so-called 'business thinker". But the acid test was applying it to a start-up I co-founded. We spent several days drafting our one pager -- and have been editing it ever since. It is a powerful, living document, the very nature of which has led us to important new insights. One Page Business Plan = the proverbial better mousetrap!" -- Tom Peters, Author, Thriving on Chaos and Co-Author of In Search of Excellence
"In his valuable, The One Page Business Plan Jim Horan not only removes the mystique from business plans, but also leads you by the hand through crafting the best plan possible: clear, focused, understandable and concise. I consider the book to be a significant contribution to business literature." -- Jay Conrad Levinson, Author, Guerrilla Marketing series of books
"Writing a business plan is something every business guru advises but few actually do. Jim Horan's book helps the reluctant change good intentions into a plan." -- Paul and Sarah Edwards, The Self Employment Experts, Authors of Working from Home, Getting Business to Come to You and Secrets of Self Employment --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Powerful stuff - all on 1 page!,
By David Newman "Professional Services Marketing... (www.doitmarketing.com) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The One Page Business Plan: Start with a Vision, Build a Company! (Paperback)
Any business document should be effectively conveyed on a single piece of paper. Even a business plan? YES indeed.Winston Churchill was asked how long he would need to prepare a speech. Churchill asked how long he had to speak. He was told 2 hours. "I can do that immediately." When asked about a 10-minute speech, he replied, "In that case, I should need a fortnight to prepare." That's the idea behind The One Page Business Plan. If you can put the time, effort, and concentration in (which the book clearly and simply guides you through) to 1 page, you've got a killer document that can serve as your touchstone within your group, your department, division, and whole company. Another thing - lots of people think this book is only for entrepreneurs. Not so. It's perhaps most valuable inside corporations, where it can be used to quickly get everyone on the same page (literally!) Great book, great concept. Plus you can reuse the format for all kinds of plans - for a project, for a new brand, for a spinoff, even for finding a new job!!

What 13 years in a F500 Company don't teach you...,

This review is from: The One Page Business Plan: Start with a Vision, Build a Company! [With CDROM] (Paperback)
...You can find here! I came across this book through a mention on Tom Peters Website and could not get myself to spend the 35$ until last week. Big mistake! It is exactly what I needed to focus my thoughts in a clear and concise manner...and turbofast too. The questions are sharp and intense, the results are astonishing. If you are an accidental entrepreneur buy this book! Oliver Fritsch, www.vocationlab.com

Great first step to planning,

This review is from: The One Page Business Plan: Start with a Vision, Build a Company! (Paperback)
We've just finished a semester using this book with undergrads (at Marquette), in conjunction with Bulger's The Enlightened Entrepreneur. Both are full of questions to answer; this one also has a nice protocol for going from answers to the plan. In one page, obviously you only set a broad direction, but that's vital. I added sections on Customers, Competitors, Capabilities, Channels, Commitments, and Capital to get closer to a full plan. Overall, it worked extremely well, and business clients who've used it also found it works well.
