Making a plan

Successful businesses have a plan. They plan for success. Entrepreneur Magazine's Business Plans Made Easy [HD 30.28 .H474 2005] by Entrepreneur Press and David H. Bangs, Jr will help you "create a high impact business plan that can mean the difference between success and failure."

Our business classes prepare the small business owner for a profit making enterprise. Part of that profit making comes from having a plan.

Rarely do we start out on a vacation without a destination in mind or at least a time frame for our wanderings. Starting a business is more than making a business card and posting flyers.

Check out our business collection for materials that will help you plan your business into life!

GALILEO has current articles about the change.
Encyclopedia Britannica Online has edited their article (available through GALILEO).
Wikipedia has locked their article on Pluto because of vandalism but it does have the updated information.
