Getting from Idea to Action: Business Planning 101 – December 6 1 pm

Do you have an idea for a business? Does it often seem like a shapeless cloud floating in your head? This idea motivate you, but it doesn’t help you assess how feasible your idea is and how it can realistically produce value.

Writing a business plan is an invaluable exercise to bring you down from the cloud. It helps give form to your ideas by prompting you to specify key elements of your business. This will help you assess whether they exist or not and identify blind spots of which you are not aware – so that you can cover them.

In this webinar, you will learn about the standard content of a business plan, how to flesh out and organize this content, and how to begin making your financial projections.
