Summary: The best book on business planning I've ever read.
Review: There are lots of books out there about business planning. But this one is special. It is clear and simple to understand. At the same time, it takes its readers and the subject very seriously. It's full of case studies and entertaining examples of businesses that have succeeded--and sometimes failed--because of strategic planning choices. I learned everything I needed to know to start planning a small business out of my house. Highly recommended.

Summary: Planning, not just plans
Review: Unlike most business plan guides that focus on producing an impressive document, this book actually helped me plan to run a company. It anticipates and explains virtually every potential pitfall for a company-builder. The book transforms the business planning process into something that you can and should use every day. It touches all aspects of analyzing your business and deciding where to go next. I highly recommend it.

Summary: The only source you need
Review: When we had the germ of an idea for a new company, I explored many sources for business plans including many computer CD progams. By comparison, others books generated more confusion than lucidity. Using Dummies as a template, we developed a great business plan that reflected exactly our challenges, prospects, and a road map for getting THERE. Save yourself time and money. Stick with this Dummies guide. R. Kingston
