My new program that releases on November 5, QuickPlanner Plus, is the perfect tool for creating a small business plan especially for those, like me, who are not planning saavy. I developed it to walk you through the planning steps for the strategic plan side of the business. It does not cover the financial, but it helps you figure out what you need to do. It is a great first step. www.quickplannerplus.com<BR/><BR/>matsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628159963370941143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-3395825190382618452007-11-01T14:50:00.000-05:002007-11-01T14:50:00.000-05:00Thank you for the link and your thoughts on the Ro...Thank you for the link and your thoughts on the Ron Macher book.

There is some valuable information there, especially as you think about what other enterprises you might undertake to diversify your farm.<BR/><BR/>Here's a great (free!) business planning resource online:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.sare.org/publications/business/business.pdf" REL="nofollow">Building a Sustainable Business : A Guide to Developing a Business Plan for Farms and Rural Businesses</A> The content is real similar to the course content for the Grow Your Small Market Farm class. It would be a place to get started thinking about your business until you start the class.
