The Inside-Out Business Plan™ -- Your Small Business Plan in 10 Easy Questions
By Terri Zwierzynski

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

Writing a business plan for your Solo Entrepreneur business 
doesn't have to be a daunting project. If you can answer 
10 straightforward questions about your business, you can be ready to go.

The key to success is to answer all of the questions in 
enough depth that if a friend asked you to invest in this business, 
you'd say yes. Most importantly, make sure you record your 
business plan somehow...whether you write it by hand, 
type it into your computer, or put it on stickie notes on your wall. 
Keep it someplace handy where you can refer to it when you are 
making important business decisions. And, make sure you review it 
monthly--or, even better, weekly--and update it at least annually.

1. Your Dreams: What do you want your business to provide for you? 
(think time, money, freedom, who you work with) 
Be specific--how much money, how many hours, when do you want to "retire".


2. Customers: Who are your customers and what do they want/need? 


3. Your Products and Services: What products/services 
will you provide to meet customer's needs? 


4. Markets: Where are your customers and what do you 
know about them as a group? "Where" might be geographic, 
it might be what kind of places they hang out, or where they 
go to find products or services like yours. What is their age, 
income, gender, hobbies, family structure, etc. 


5. Your Style: How will you reach customers and what will you say? 
Your methods of reaching customers needs to match with 
where your customers are--and with a message that they can relate to.


6. Competitors: Where else are your customers likely 
to get this need met? Find out all you can about how 
your competitors price, market, and provide service. 


7. Your Uniqueness: How will your product/service meet 
customer's needs differently than your competitors? 
Consider how your personal uniqueness impacts that.


8. Your Abilities: Of the skills necessary to run your business, 
what do you do well, and what do you need help with? 


9. External Resources: What people/technology/services 
will support you in the skills you need help with?


10. Fulfilling your Dreams: How will your business provide 
the kind of working environment you desire, both in how much time 
you spend, how you perform your work, and how much money you make? 
Here's where the rubber meets the road--make sure you can show 
how you will sell X amount of product or service at Y price, cover your 
expenses, and reach the goals you set in 1. above.

Once you can answer all these questions, have it reviewed 
by some trusted, experienced professionals who will give you 
objective feedback. Consider a business coach, as one such resource!

4.) BIZ*TECH SAVVY SOLUTIONS
_____________________

"Forward Slash - Back Slash"

====================================

Ever wondered why the slash is forward (/) in a web page URL, and
backward (\) on your computer? No? Okay.

I was told by a well known techie that Bill Gates of Microsoft
did it on purpose just so that his Windows system would be a
little bit more unique. Dunno, but that sure sounds like Mr
Gates:-)

Anyway all Internet resources use the forward slash to separate
one resource from another. Page names are separate from domain
names. The forward slash indicates a 'change in resource'.

On your home computer, you'll see the slash is backward, or
leaning to the left. "And never the two shall mingle!" You can
try using a backslash in a Web page URL. But it won't work. You
CAN use a backslash in your browser, like this:

C:\My Computer

Do that, and you'll list all the stuff on your computer! Right
through your browser window. But you won't see stuff on the
Internet that way. Who cares? Someone. Somewhere.


Many Thanks to The NewbieClub
