From the Author

(excerpted from the book’s Introduction)

Congratulations! You’re engaged in one of the most exciting projects of all -- growing a business. And I want to help you succeed.

This Organizer will:
- Help you stay on top of all the things you have to do
- Help you keep all your info and stuff together
- Give you good ideas, tips and shortcuts
- Warn you of potential problems and pitfalls
- Help you think through your decision-making process
- Help you budget and plan
- Increase your chances of success

I’ll take you through all the steps you’ll need to follow when planning your new, changing, or growing company. And my team and I have created a number of handy tools to guide you through that process. Things like:

- Shopping
- Choosing a location
- Comparing options
- Coming up with marketing and sales pitches
- Keeping track of names, numbers, and information
- Figuring out what to ask consultants and advisors.

There’s nothing else like this Organizer available; that’s why we created it. I wish I’d had something like this to guide me when I started my own businesses.Don’t be intimidated by how much there is in this Organizer. We tried to include as much as possible. It’s your tool -- use it to help you succeed.

Okay, let’s get started.

Warmly, Rhonda
