“Principles and Practices of the

Successful Entrepreneur”

#1 reason for business failure: No business plan. (U.S. Small Business Admin.)

“For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?” Luke 14:28

Top 3 reasons people don’t write their business plan:

1. No time.
2. Don’t know what to include in it.
3. Not sure how to do the financials.
