Editorial Reviews

Review

Nik Kerners new book, Creating a Business Plan, is being hailed as the business plan guide for a new generation of entrepreneurs. Millions of Americans have a good idea for starting their own business, but they feel helpless because they didn t go to business school and can t get a bank loan for lack of knowing how to write a business plan. I aim to change that, says Kerner. The BizTeach Guide on Creating a Business Plan is different from any other book on the market, using a visual model format to literally show you how to build your own plan from scratch, no prior experience required. Selling at universities, career schools, and online, Kerner intends to donate five percent of the proceeds from Creating a Business Plan to his company sponsored BizTeach for Kids Charity. High school students need more in the way of entrepreneurial education. The money we raise for the BizTeach for Kids Charity will go directly toward printing Creating a Business Plan, putting the Guide into the hands of those who truly need it most, our young entrepreneurs. Do well for yourself by doing good for others. --Business Press Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bang for your Buck!, March 25, 2008
By 
Rob (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating a Business Plan: Your Dream Concept Made Real (Perfect Paperback)
I bought this book because I had a great idea. I have very little real business experience and needed a loan to get started. The bank wanted a business plan and I didn't have the slightest clue how to write one.

This book is a fantastic, down to earth, easy to read 'how to' book for the average Joe. After reading this book, you'll be able to walk into any bank and show them that you're serious and know what you're talking about because you have a solid business plan in hand thats ready to go.

I completely recommend this book to anyone that needs to write a business plan. Worth every penny.

This review is from: Creating a Business Plan: Your Dream Concept Made Real (Perfect Paperback)
Thanks to Mr. Kerner's work I finally feel as if my dream concepts can be made real! For me the business world has always been rather daunting, never knowing where or how to begin. Yet, the clear, step-by-step approach laid out in this book is effective in breaking it all down. It's clear Mr. Kerner wants to help you succeed, and his humor throughout the pages helps to make the process of creating a business plan much more enjoyable! Highly recommended, this book is written for people like you and me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and simple! Highly recomended., March 25, 2008
By 
This review is from: Creating a Business Plan: Your Dream Concept Made Real (Perfect Paperback)
I started a business about a year ago, and things were going well. There was just one problem, when I wanted to expand ie: get a loan, I didn't have a business plan. I needed something to give me clarity and help me organize my thoughts so that I could present them to a bank. After trying several online business plan guides I found this book. The instruction is clear, and after completing it, I actually understood what went into my plan. A great buy!
