If you have never written a business plan before, you may have difficulty getting the project started. It will seem as though you have many blank pages staring back at you. But don't worry; use these tips and you'll get your business plan on the fast track.
A few years ago when I first started my online home business I didn't have a clue regarding how to go about it. I had never done any Internet marketing. I didn't know anything about websites or search engines or any of that other online business stuff; in short, I was a complete rookie. In retrospect, the two major things that really helped me included that I refused to be intimidated and I kept a realistic perspective.
It is estimated that changes have been made on 35% of all business cards presented on any day. These seemingly innocent changes are made with pen, marker or, gasp, a stick-on label. Get out that stack of cards in your drawer with the rubber band. At least one will have a change, penciled it. Not too impressive, huh?
The definition of a business grant is broken down as a sum of money that is given to an individual or business for a specific purpose. This is to help your business to fund ideas. Funding is essential to your business (regardless if your business is small, new, or established) for your projects, purchases and expansions.

AUGUST MUSINGS
Do we really need to like our job? Only 10% of workers surveyed say they look forward to going to work everyday. Less than 40% of under-25 workers are “satisfied.” CareerBuilder.com states that 84% of people surveyed state they are not in their dream jobs. Is there a point beyond “no kidding?” Not really.
Humans are wired to have fun. People like to eat, drink, sleep, be with family and friends, watch TV, play games or surf the Internet. Work is those hours per week that has us going against our natural inclinations. Work will ask us to adopt a different role and apply our abilities to meet the company’s needs. For that effort, we are rewarded with money and that allows us to have more fun.
The workplace does not have to be dull and dreadful. That’s a reflection of the management team. Every job, even the most demanding, can be tolerable with leadership that emphasizes empathy and positive attitudes.
