Welcome to the Business Planning Online Workshop!
This workshop starts September 24, 2012.
We are looking forward to working with you over the next two weeks to guide you through reasearching your industry, proving your business case, forecasting your financials, and wrriting a business plan.
IMPORTANT: Please read the following instructions before beginning your workshop!
1. Watch Daily Video Sessions.
Under the “Videos” tab, you will find the daily video lessons and the accompanying Power Point Presentations for week one. I would encourage you to review all of the first week’s video sessions prior to the first live discussion on Monday, October 1, 2012.
2. Review Weekly Resource Guide & Supplementary Templates.
Each week, we provide a supplementary resource guide and templates to compliment all that you will be learning in the daily video sessions. Select the “Resources” tab to access the abundance of additional learning materials.
3. Download and Install the Business Planner Download
The RiskBuster Business Planner Download contains the Shell Business Plan Template and the Biz4Caster. During the first week we will walk you through the download procedure.
4. Work Through the Business Planner’s RoadMap Steps
During the workshop you will be guided through the steps of the Business Planner’s RoadMap Online. This resource will remain available to you after the workshop ends so you have a guide to writing business plans. During the workshop we will guide you through the steps of the Business Planner’s RoadMap and provide tips and tricks for working through every step.
5. Participate in the Social Network (Don’t miss this opportunity!)
Join the Business Planner’s Forum. This is one of the best ways to interact, discuss, ask questions, and your share ideas with others throughout this workshop. As you review the videos, use the resources, and work through the RoadMap, we encourage you to post your questions and comments in the discussion forum.
