Synopsis
Breaking ranks with conventional wisdom, this book argues that writing a business plan unnecessarily wastes time and, in fact, could be counterproductive. This careful study examines start-up experiences and the minimal role of business plans in the practices of such entrepreneurs as Bill Gates and Michael Dell. Small business owners are urged instead to focus on key hands-on tasks that are more likely to impress professional investors -- tasks such as preparing an effective oral presentation, writing a clear and compelling synopsis, developing a web site that captures a business model, and assembling hard-hitting financial projections. Provided are a sample synopsis that helped attract $4 million of investment capital, examples of effective financial projections, ten ways to demonstrate demand for a product or service, and a detailed case study of an entrepreneur who raised more than $50 million of investment funds -- without the use of a written business plan. Entrepreneurs learn inside tips for how to value company stock, how to network most effectively to attract the interest of investors, and how to negotiate from strength with prospective investors.

    The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
