The Snapshot Business Plan

The simplest way to get started ... with one page!
For most people about to start a business and even those already in business, the thought of creating a business plan is overwhelming, sounds hard, maybe even too difficult, and is better left in the *too hard basket*.
I was one of those people who knew it was important to have one, but I just didn't know *how* to get started.
I read a lot of information online, attended a guzillion courses related to businesses - online and offline, read a zillion books, and then I became a Certified Tutor in Small Business Management. With all the clients I have talked to [and more importantly *listened to*] over the years, it became so obvious to me that this task still seemed too difficult.
What could I do to make it easier??
I gave this a lot of thought, and wondered ... what would *I* be happy to do to get started on writing my very own business plan ... without pain?
The answer came to me quickly and easily - if I only had to write ONE page, I'd be happy!
So a seed of an idea turned itself into a one-page document which I call - and I'm giving it away for free, because I want to help as many people as I can.
Now don't think this is *all* you have to do! No no no - you still have to do some work to create a professional looking business plan, but this is your *first* step.
Once you have taken that *first* step, the other steps seem a whole lot easier, trust me, I'm speaking from experience here!
