Business Plan

I plan to run a series of once weekly, 90-minute workshops on business plan. Workshop fee per session is 400 baht per attendee to be paid only when it is confirmed. Date and time of first workshop are tentative at this stage and subject to change based on response, or venue availability. At this stage it is for Planning Purposes only. It is recommended to check back for final confirmation.

Imagine this scenario. You’ve somehow got a meeting with an investor.
You: “Hi, I have a great business that I’d like you fund.
Investor: “That’s great. Tell me more about the business.
You: “We’re in the (fill in the blank) business. We are 10X better than anything else out there.
Investor: “Sounds exciting. Can you show me your plan for growing your business?
You: “Plan? I don’t have a plan.
Investor: “Come back when you have a plan, then I’ll be happy to listen.

Think of it this way. You are leading people on a journey, and your plan is the guidepost for your journey.
How can you expect to get an investors to follow you (or employees or customers) without a plan?
And guess what? You need a plan not for investors, but for yourself.
Before you get discouraged, and think that you have to develop a 50 page single-spaced business plan, the plan you need isn’t like that. You need a simple, easy to follow, and easy to adjust plan.
