HOW THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT AND DELIVERS RESULTS Other business planner books teach business planning with cumbersome templates which cause people to get confused and quit, or write ineffective business plans. STEP 1: This book starts with only a 3-sentence business plan, which helps you identify your core business strategies. STEP 2: After you create your own 3-sentence business plan, you will be guided on how to expand it to a 1-page business plan. STEP 3: After you have a 1-page business plan, you will learn how to expand it into a full and professional business plan.
