Joanne Simons, Publisher, Business Builder

Hi -- So what's up with a marketing site that concentrates on business plans? Seems that over the the past six or seven years my marketing business has morphed. Now I almost exclusively help and train entrepreneurs with their business plans. One of these days I'll get this converted to a more appropriate domain name! You're probably here because you've dreamed of having your own business. Or want to build a more successful business. That almost always requires . . .  a BUSINESS PLAN. I'll bet you've probably already tried to write one. Maybe several times. But it's not the easy task some software programs would have you believe, is it? Writing your business plan is a personal endeavor -- much like writing your resume -- and because of that, it's often harder than you think. I've helped entrepreneurs with their business plans for 15 years. I've also been in business for over 20+ years. My recommendations:
