“I wish I had seen the systematic business plan template that you have in the book when I started businesses in the past.”
-Noah Woodruff, high school graduate and micro business owner
I looked all over the internet for a business plan designed for the teenage micro business and I could not find one! I found sites that simply repackaged their full blown adult plans for teenagers or the plans are too vague with helpful suggestions like “guess how much money you will need to start.”
No so with my business plan! I will walk you through every aspect of planning your business. You will:
- do research,
- ask for help,
- find a mentor,
- make some phone calls
- and really put some thought into this plan.
And then you’ll show it to at least three people to get their feedback!
