But how do you actually sit down and write one? The answer is: you don't. Not as the first step, at least. First, you have a fair amount of homework to do.</p> <p>Homework such as defining your target market; sizing and segmenting that market; developing a competitive strategy; validating that your service or product fills an unmet need; value pricing your product. And the list goes on.</p> <p>In this seminar, OTBC Executive Director Steve Morris will review the different objectives you might have for writing a business plan, and the homework you need to do before you write the plan - and then will review what goes into the plan. You'll leave with a detailed action plan for preparing to write a business plan -- and with an outline of what should be in the plan. The good news: once you've done your homework, writing a business plan isn't that difficult!</p> <p>Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/otbc-events/calendar/11501362/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
