See why people are using the revolutionary new way to plan a business outlined in this book, and why they get better results.

HOW THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT AND DELIVERS RESULTS

Other business planner books teach traditional business planning with cumbersome templates which cause people to get confused and quit, or write ineffective business plans.

STEP 1:

This book starts with only a 3-sentence business plan, which helps you identify your core business strategies.

STEP 2:

After you create your own 3-sentence business plan, you will be guided on how to expand it to a 1-page business plan.

STEP 3:

After you have a 1-page business plan, you will learn how to expand it into a full and professional business plan.

THE BOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED EVERY YEAR SINCE PUBLICATION

The latest edition takes you beyond just writing a business plan. Planning is necessary, but over-planning or planning without starting your business leads to failure.

That’s why the latest edition of this book gives you skills to become a stronger entrepreneur, launch your business, and succeed once your business is up and running.

BENEFITS OF THIS APPROACH
  • Write a higher-quality business plan
  • Identify the most effective strategies for your business
  • Complete your business plan faster
  • Avoid confusion and frustration
EXPERIENCED AND AUTHORITATIVE AUTHOR

Anyone can claim to be a business expert, but the knowledge in this book comes from the author, Alex Genadinik, who has:
  • Coached over 1,000 entrepreneurs
  • Created top business planning apps
  • Taught tens of thousands of people in his business planning courses
  • Guest-lectured at numerous universities
  • Built multiple successful businesses while being an independent entrepreneur just like you
INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE AND FREEDOM

Imagine how great your life will be if you are the owner of a successful business, provide for your family, live comfortably, and avoid daily 9-5 stress.

Take this step to starting your business, achieve financial independence, and gain the freedom you desire.

STRUCTURED AS A BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE

One of the chapters in this book is structured like a business plan template with examples for what to write in every section of the business plan. It is meant for you to write your business plan as you read the book.

By the end of that chapter, you will have a professional business plan.

NOW WITH A CASE STUDY OF A $1,000,000 CLIENT

A recent addition in this book is a business plan for a client’s Ecommerce business that I helped take to over $1,000,000 in annual revenue.

You’ll see the business plan for that client and more importantly, what we did to get his business to grow.

AFTER YOU READ THE BOOK

If you are a first-time entrepreneur, after the first few chapters, you will have a much better understanding of business strategies and the steps to get started and succeed.

Outstanding First-Timer's Guide to Developing a Business Plan
"How To Write a Business Plan, Business Planning Made Simple" is precisely that.I couldn't have hoped for a better start beginning with this publication. What author makes oneself readily available for interaction with the reader of his book? Alex does just that! In the introduction of the text, Alex invites the readers' contact and communication with him, regarding feed back on the read. I ordered Alex's book because I am a first-time business class student with an assignment to research and report on pursuing a career climb objective or starting my own business. I took the approach of starting a business, so sought guidance in developing my proposal. After the first chapter's recommended exercise, Alex invites the reader to send the completed exercise to him for review and feedback. That is exactly what I did. I heard back from Alex the same day, and have had multiple exchanges with him since. Wow! It's like having a remote instructor at my fingertips! Furthermore, Alex's book is an easy to read, easy to understand, logically sequenced 9-Chapter guide with ongoing examples on how to envision one's business plan, starting with a simple 3-Sentence proposal. The book continues to guide one on expanding into a fully developed comprehensively developed business plan that takes into consideration the necessary financing and marketing of the business venture.Alex's 127 pages of instruction and modeling are far less intimidating to tackle than another publication of nearly 800-pages that I also purchased. Throughout the text, Alex provides on-line resources, including on-line video support and instruction, and an end-of-the-book appendix providing a full business plan example, additional books for guidance, free Android and iPhone apps that provide instruction and guidance in developing 1.) the business idea, 2.) the business plan, 3.) fundraising, and 4.) marketing and making money. Additionally, Alex's support can be obtained from his YouTube channel and social media connections, all of which are listed in the Appendix of this handy-dandy read. A newcomer to the field of business can't go wrong obtaining this text. Thanks to Alex, I have been greatly motivated to seriously pursue my business plan objectives, and hopefully side-step unnecessary blunders along-the-way due to his sage advice and recommendations.

This book had a bunch of useful information to help start up your business. He does talk about his businesses in this but its to use as an example and goes into more detail further in the book. A lot of people are mentioning that this book is self promotion because he talks about his business. If you were to find an entrepreneur, would you want someone who doesn't have any businesses teaching you or would you want a successful person to teach and motivate you. He teaches you about your mindset and basics. He tells you in this book that this is not the only book to read to succeed. He recommended other books that were not written by him. Overall this book is really good to learn some basics and then find some more books that go into depths of these topics.

I enjoyed Alex’s book and found it to be a good, concise overview to Business Planning. I just wish he had free Microsoft Office or Google Doc templates to leverage. Maybe his web site does offer those and I will check it out, but there’s no reference to them existing in this book that I remember.
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018
My wife and I have been talking about starting a business for more than a year, but the hardest part has been the first step: planning. I recently purchased this book on a whim thinking, if anything, it would at least give me an example of how to write a business plan, but it's been so much more. Right from the get-go Alex's advice is invaluable in helping you get your ideas down so that you can see the positives, negatives, strengths and weaknesses of your plan. Working through this book chapter by chapter has really simplified what for me felt like a daunting task at the beginning. Now I look forward to working on my business plan so that I can put it into action.

In short, this is a great step-by-step guide for getting your plan down on paper and conquering that first hurdle of starting a business.

I'm currently in the process of utilizing this book to write my first business plan, and find it exceptionally helpful. I'm using the book as an active workbook, completing each section of my business plan in conjunction with the book. It has really helped simplify the daunting project that is creating a very necessary part of any business, and for that I am extremely grateful for Mr. Genadinik.

Also, things to look forward to are:
-additional resources to further help
-ways to contact the author for additional assistance (which is very cool and reminds me of when Robert Cormier decided to use his real phone number is his 'I Am The Cheese' novel and readers looking for Amy would actually get to speak with Cormier himself!)
-I'm sure there's more; I haven't finished it yet!

Anyways, it's a great guide, and I highly recommend.

Also, at 3 bucks for the Kindle edition, which you can access with your smartphone-- it's a no brainer.

I expected something better from a book with a lot of positive reviews. It's very basic and some parts are not precise. I found it quite superficial. The financial part is a little disappointing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2020
One of over a dozen books I have bought as part of my journey as a first time entrepreneur but it is one I continually go back to for help and guidance on a range of issues. It breaks down every aspect of a professional business plan and clearly explains what you need to do in each part to make it a success. The fact the book starts off with a very easy guide to completing a 3 sentence business plan will give any entrepreneur the confidence needed to succeed with at least starting this. It's simple to follow steps make it easy to build a comprehensive business plan. If you're thinking that your business idea is complicated and won't transfer correctly into a business plan, don't worry, there are examples throughout the book of how to construct a business plan for a wide variety of businesses. The book also talks extensively about entrepreneur psychology, finding the right business idea and monetisation tips. It therefore offers far more than just a how to guide to creating a business plan.

Reviewed in Spain on March 11, 2020
Me ha gustado la forma simple y distendida como Alex Genadinik explica sus pasos a seguir en el documento.
No me ha gustado que al explicar los ejemplos se repite mucho y al ser casos tan sencillos no hace falta perder tiempo con este enfoque.
El libro y sus explicaciones me han sido de mucha utilidad para poder preparar un documento de trabajo real, ahora en fase de evaluación.
Aprovecharé las ofertas de Alex para que se le envíen los resultados y que el nos de su punto de vista. A ver si funciona.
Espero que sí.
Para acabar, felicitar a Alex, creo que es un buen mentor, es por eso que le he dado el titulo a mi review.
