I’ve Tested and Proven

This Business System So

You Could Enjoy the Benefits

Reduced Risk and Less Stress

If you're thinking about starting, growing or buying a business, you'll get this... 

Let me tell you my story.

I am a home-based small business owner who needed to develop a business plan in order to start my business. When I set out to create my first business plan, there was a shortage of good templates to use. After encountering roadblock after roadblock, I finally gave up and started the business without a detailed written business plan.

After slugging it out in a roler coaster feast and famine market for six years, I went broke and lost everything I had worked so hard to gain. It was devastating. It took me seven full years to recover from that disaster.

I learned the hard way how vitally important it is to have a business plan. You don’t need to retrace that costly path or suffer the mistakes I made!

Yet, when I set out to build myself a business plan...

I discovered these daunting roadblocks.

The first time I was told I needed a business plan it was like hitting a rock wall! All I wanted was to get my business started and do work I felt comfortable with – and I was being asked to develop a business plan, something I knew nothing about. Like you, I did a lot of homework. I read books on business planning. I attended business planning workshops and courses and networking groups. I banged my head against the wall trying to develop my own business plan.

Then I discovered another challenge with the business planning process. Everyone will tell you that you need to do a thorough job of your market research. In fact, most businesses fail because of inadequate market research. Yet, when I dug deeper, I could not find a clear market research process for novices.

At the depth of my frustration, I tried hiring a consultant to develop my business plan for me. I was shocked to learn that the fees would cost all of my business start-up funds and then some. And even if hiring a consultant was an option, I would be doing most of the work anyway. Consultants can bring great value if you can afford them, but I was a small home-based novice without a lot of money to get my business started. With limited money, the only option for me was to push forward and do my own market research and write my own business plan.

Are you terrified of financial projections? I was. Yet the financial forecasts are absolutely critical to your business plan and necessary for the your business to succeed. It was crushing to learn that I was expected to do a number of financial reports (sales projections, cash flow forecast, pro forma income statement) about which I knew nothing. It seemed like I was expected to become a fully qualified accountant before I could get my simple microbusiness off the ground!

I found it daunting to speak with gatekeepers (bankers, managers of business assistance programs, etc.) They were in a position of power, holding the key to the funds I needed in order to build my business. Because I wasn’t confident, it was easy for them to reveal my ignorance with their probing questions and I at times I felt as though they were shooting my ideas down. The less confident I was, the less I felt like asking questions.

When writing a document of any type, I prefer to have a proven successful example to follow. I found it quite unnerving that all the sample business plans I found were not real. How convincing is that? Today, there are plenty of make-believe business plan samples, but it’s difficult to find real living examples.

Finally, I smacked into the biggest single problem for anyone trying to create a business plan. After investing countless hours plowing through hundreds of books, CD’s, courses, articles and case studies – I could not find one system that gave me the full process. Oh, lots of materials offered pieces of the puzzle, but invariably they rely on your to fill in the missing parts, to know stuff you just can’t know or to have skills that don’t come naturally unless you’ve developed a business plan before. Nowhere on the planet is there a one-stop, how-to system for the do-it-yourself novice business planner… until now.

Fifteen years ago, I organized my successful business planning tools and techniques into a training program and began showing entrepreneurs how to build their own business plans.

From those early efforts I realized I needed more than the business planning tools offered. So I set out to write the book and create the system I so desperately needed back then! I wrote the Business Planner's RoadMap to make it possible for entrepreneurs to organize their market research and successfully complete their own business plans. It's clear enough for novices and business owners to follow, but equally effective for business trainers and consultants to use to guide their business clients.

So, I designed the business planning process and tested it by using it to develop my own business plan. I then asked several friends to test the process and incorporated their generous feedback and suggestions for improvements. Over time I wrote the book, fine-tuned the business planning process and crafted my business plan to use as a living example and blueprint for my business. (Yes, my business plan is in the book, and it IS the real thing.)

Why Do Most Businesses Fail?

You’ve heard that business is risky and not a guaranteed road to riches. Sadly, many new businesses fail and inexperienced start-ups too often lose everything they own. Many businesses fail within the first year, more than 85% do not last five years. Why? 

1. Inadequate Market Research.
2. Cash Flow Shortfall.
   
3. Lack of a Written Business Plan.

Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? After all, you would think that once you have built the business, they will come. Customers should rush through your doors and clamour to throw money into your cash drawer. Right?

Unfortunately, most people don’t know beans about what it really takes to develop a business plan and build a business, much less how to make it successful.

But perhaps I’m moving too fast. Maybe I need to slow down and give you time to convince yourself that you do, in fact, need to develop a business plan.

Your market research process can bring droves of qualified customers your way. But only if you know how to gather market intelligence, build a marketing action plan and get the word out there! It is a sad fact that most business owners don’t know the insider secrets of how to research a business idea, develop their financial forecasts, and write a business plan to position themselves so as to become an irresistible magnet to customers and prospective stakeholders.

Finish Your Business Plan and Launch

Your Business with Confidence

Where are you at now with your Business Plan? Are you discouraged? Too much work? Not sure where to find the right information or how much to include? Afraid to ask for help for fear of looking dumb?

For the entrepreneur who is trying to develop a business plan for the first time – the stress associated with researching, writing, then forecasting financials, can be overwhelming, to say the least.

Failure and Success for You?

Four. A business does not have to be a “get-rich-quick” scheme. Many business tiny businesses serve the needs of their owners perfectly without the pressure of sky-rocketing straight-up profits. Through business planning, you design your business to meet your needs.

While business planning has traditionally been the domain of the highly educated or experienced consultants, this is no longer true.

In fact, more and more people are realizing that they don’t have to throw away vast amounts of money or give up their best opportunity to become the expert for their business.

If you’re one of these, you want to learn from someone who’s been there, done that! That’s me, Dan Boudreau.

With more than 25 years experience in a variety of micro and small businesses, and after coaching thousands of satisfied clients to achieve their success – I am confident you will gain ongoing value from the Business Planner's RoadMap!

Sad but True… Many business plans fail due to lack of market research.

Yet when asked, many entrepreneurs think their market research starts and ends with surveying potential customers. While it’s extremely important that you get out there and mingle and survey your potential customers, don’t underestimate the most important source of market research – you! The Business Planner's RoadMap will you show you how to get ‘what you already know’ out of your head and into your business plan!

Experience has made it indelibly clear... if you will stick with my system and write a business plan that’s easy to read, and if you will follow my sound advice on researching your idea, you will succeed as I have.

Most People Are Not Suited To Own and Operate Their Own Business? Not true. Most people ARE suited to own and operate their own business. It’s just that many never get to the point where they realize they can do it and take the leap of faith!

Bigger is Better? Nonsense! Be careful what you ask for. The sweet little enterprise you grow might become a treadmill trap just like the drudgery you attempted to shed by leaving your old job. Millions of small and micro businesses survive and thrive and meet all the owner’s needs without growing into large companies.

You Need a Lot of Money to Start a Business? Hogwash. While it’s true that some types of business have a high start-up price tag, many do not. As a tradesperson who owns all the necessary tools to work for someone else, you probably already have most of what you need to start your own business. Many single operator service businesses require minimal investment to get started.

Here’s The Real Truth

about Business Planning 

The core purpose of a business plan is to prove or disprove your business case. Each step of the process will either increase or decrease your confidence in your business idea. At a certain point, after enough positive impressions, your confidence level will reach a point where you are ready to launch.

As you research and build your business case, you get clearer about your business. As you gain clarity, you gain confidence. If this doesn’t happen, you will drop the business idea before it costs you a lot of money, before you lose your valuable investment. Increased confidence means you move forward, decreased confidence means you drop the idea. Either way, you win!

Once you’ve proven your business case to yourself, you will be able to present and prove it to others, such as bankers, investors and partners.

As the expert for your own business, you will be able to share your vision and attract the talent necessary to make your business vision a reality.
