“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
