But how do yo u 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. \;\n \;\nHomework such as defining your target market\; sizing an d segmenting that market\; developing a competitive strategy\; validatin g that your service or product fills an unmet need\; value pricing your product. And the list goes on. \;\n \;\nIn this seminar\, OTBC Exe cutive Director Steve Morris will review the different objectives you mi ght have for writing a business plan\, and the homework you need to do b efore 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 busin ess 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 tha t difficult! \;\n \;\nWho should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business.\n\nTags: ostartupskey\, business plan\, entr epreneur\, startup\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250457 826 URL:http://www.meetup.com/otbc-events/calendar/11501362/ SUMMARY:OTBC: How to Write a Business Plan LOCATION:OTBC [Old location\, do not use!]: 12725 Sw Millikan Way\, Suite 101\, Beaverton OR 97005 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
