“The Succsssful Business Plan: Secrets and Strategies is absolutely the BEST step-by-step process for creating just what the title says, a successful business plan. Presented in an easy-to-follow, logical format with supporting examples, no other resource comes close. I’ve used it in my Entrepreneurship classes at the University of Vermont for years, also when consulting with would-be entrepreneurs. Students keep the book for reference; multiple students over the years have used it as the path to successful ventures. Yahoo for The Successful Business Plan!”

David Kaufman, Faculty in Parks, Recreation and Tourism, University of Vermont

“We’ve been using your text since 1999, and we have written 110 business plans as of last semester! The most successful one has been the $3.5B webstaurantstore.com!”

Greg Pierce, Associate Teaching Professor of Finance, Smeal College of Business. The Pennsylvania State University

“I have used Successful Business Plan: Secrets & Strategies for
many years. There’s a reason it’s the definitive business plan guide
for college classes. It’s by far the best text on the subject—
comprehensive, clear, practical and up-to-date.”

Robert von Goeben, Professor, California College of the Arts MBA program
