Business Plan In A Day
I’m growing my business this year by purchasing a commercial building, and I needed a real estate loan to make the purchase. Business Plan In A Day was THE source I used for writing my plan, and the bankers and brokers I spoke with all commended my plan as being very strong and well-written. Thanks to you, I’ve secured my loan and the transaction is going through. I feel so fortunate to have found this book.

Successful Business Plan: Secrets & Strategies
[Successful Business Plan is] user-friendly and exhaustive . . . highly recommended. Abrams’ book works because she tirelessly researched the subject. Most how-to books on entrepreneurship aren’t worth a dime; among the thousands of small business titles, Abrams’ [is an] exception.
— Forbes Magazine
There are plenty of decent business-plan guides out there, but Abrams’ was a cut above the others I saw. Successful Business Plan won points with me because it was thorough and well organized, with handy worksheets and good quotes. Also, Abrams does a better job than most at explaining the business plan as a planning tool rather than a formulaic exercise. Well done.

We are again using Successful Business Plan in my business honors course this semester. Must be working, as Penn State was just named (by Kaplan and Newsweek magazine) as the ‘hottest school in the U.S. for student entrepreneurs!’

Successful Business Plan enables my Entrepreneurship students at the University of Vermont to develop really great business plans. The book’s easy-to-follow, step-by-step format makes preparing a plan logical and understandable. Over the years . . . several students have actually launched their businesses successfully. Our son used the book at St. Michael’s College in Vermont to develop a plan for airport fitness centers, winning the school’s annual business plan competition for business majors . . . with a hefty cash prize! His plan was so thorough, especially the financials, that he was flown to the West Coast to present his plan to a prospective buyer. The bottom line, there is no better road map to business plan success than Successful Business Plan!
— David Kaufman, University of Vermont
If you’d like something that goes beyond the mere construction of your plan and is more fun to use, try Successful Business Plan: Secrets and Strategies, by Rhonda Abrams . . . this book can take the pain out of the process.

Successful Business Plan is easy to follow and comprehensive. From the first chapter to the last, it guides you through the business planning process with a proven systematic approach.
— Sean S. Murphy, Ernst & Young LLP
As a 20 plus year veteran SBDC director, consultant and entrepreneurship instructor, I have assisted thousands of individuals and business owners through the planning process. Having reviewed tens of thousands of plans and critiquing hundreds of planning texts, programs and tools, Successful Business Plan: Secrets & Strategies remains my hands-down favorite text/workbook/guide. The content and construction is comprehensive, practical and ‘do-able’ for the serious small business owner/entrepreneur.
