~~~ What Is A Business Plan? ~~~
Business Plan Pro 2005
Writing a business plan is one of the most important aspects of starting a business in today's ever changing environment.
Why is writing a business plan so important?
This is the question you will need to ask yourself over and
over again. And once you come up with the answer that is right for your business, you will be ready to get started...
Starting a business in today's ever changing environment is a challenge in itself. So many entrepreneurs are jumping into business ownership without first planning their new venture.
The importance of planning your business cannot be over emphasized.
By taking an unbiased look at your business, you can identify areas of weaknesses and strengths that you might otherwise overlook. Planning can mean the difference between your business being a successful one, or it being a failure.
The idea of a plan is to help keep you mentally focused. In a sense it is sort of like a goal. You write it down, follow it and make changes and updates as needed.
This is so that you can keep everything in proper perspective, because without a step by step business plan, there is no way you can keep your business running successfully, unless you are just a super lucky person…
What are the chances of that being true? Not Much.
Writing A business plan is simply the process you'll use to organize your business goals and strategies. It is a written expression of your business ideas. And, it also provides information needed for others to evaluate your business. A thorough business plan can help if you are seeking assistance from a financial lender.
It will let the lender know that you are serious, and also let them know that you are working and planning for your business to ultimately be successful.
Every business plan is dynamic. Each business has its own unique personality and is different from any other one. Your business plan should reflect your businesses uniqueness.

~~~ Build A Business Web Site~~~
Whether your business is brand new or has been around for many years, it is important to build a business web site to give your company a strong and dynamic presence on the World Wide Web.
No matter how you decide to build a business web site for your company, always remember that your web site is the first point of contact for many customers. As a business owner, you know the importance of making a good first impression. It is therefore vital to build a business web site that makes a strong, memorable and positive first impression.
Places That Can Help You Build A Business Web Site
There are places that can help you build a business web site for your company. There is an entire industry of professionals who specialize in creating a web presence for existing businesses and helping new businesses get on the internet.
Freelance Web Site Designers
There are also freelance web designers who can build a business web site for your business. If your business is a startup, you will want to build a business web site that effectively communicates the products and services you have to offer. If your business is involved in ecommerce, you will want to make sure you have good pictures and product descriptions located on your web site.
What If You Don’t Have An Internet Business?
Even if your business is not involved in internet retailing, it is important to build a business web site that provides good information about your business.
Remember that your company web site is the first thing many people will see about your business. Always make sure that your business web site provides a good first impression and makes potential customers eager to learn more about your company.
Planning To Build A Business Web Site
No matter how you build a business web site for your business, it is a good idea to sketch the design out ahead of time. Take some time to sketch out what each page of your web site should look like.
This will be a big help whether you are hiring a firm or individual to build a business web site for you or doing the work yourself. If you want to connect a back end database to your business web site, make sure the firm or individual you hire is able to provide that service for you.
Put The Need Of Your Customer First
It is important to always put the needs of the web site visitor first when you build a business web site. Remember to take into account that many web surfers are still using slow dial-up connections to access web sites on the internet.
It is important that any graphics, photographs or animation elements load quickly and look good no matter what the connection speed.
Always put yourself in the customer’s shoes when you build a business web site. It is also important to build a business web site that is easy to use and intuitive to customer needs.
Make sure your customers can find the information they are looking for quickly. This is where sketching out your web site ahead of time can be a big help. It is important to build a business web site that is both easy to use and informative.
Taking these important steps when you build a business web site will ensure that both old customers and new customers will return again and again.
Choosing The Right Resource To Build A Successful Web Site
If you are planning on building a web site for your business Site Build It (SBI) is a really good choice. I believe in it, because I used it to create this web site site. And if you found me via the World Wide Web, that means it is doing what it is suppose to do.

~~~ LEFT OUT THERE ~~~
Have you ever joined an Affiliate Program or a Business Opportunity or a Multi-Level-Marketing or a Franchise or what ever? And once you signed up and got started you felt so alone.
You needed more help and more information, but it was not there for you to get. As time went on you kind of felt that the only reason your sponsor or up line helped you sign up was so that they could get a commission for signing you up.
The chain of events went something like this:
· Before you joined your sponsor was SO helpful
· You were
SO excited about becoming a member
· You signed up and became a member
· Things seem to be going good for a while
· You bought just about every product they offered
· You were making a little bet of money
· Your sponsor was still very helpful
· But as time went on sells started to slow down
· Things started to change
· Your sponsor seem to be too busy to help you
· Your circle of customers started to close
· As time went on, it would appear that your sponsor had LEFT YOU OUT THERE
· You started to lose interest in the program
· Six months later
you are
absolutely
LEFT OUT THERE

We have put a huge emphasis on training. As long as I can remember I was being trained on something or another.
From the early beginnings I can recall my mom and dad telling
me
"No, No, No!" or
"Stop that!” I guess they were training
me to keep my hands off of their stuff.
So as you can tell training has always been a part of all of
lives. That's why we have put together this Work Shop. The
intentions of this program is to direct you in the right
direction to help you start your business in a successful manner.
This
Work Shop is also a good training opportunity for someone that already has a business, but needs a boost to get it moving into a more profitable direction.
