It Starts With A Business Plan Courageous Conversations with Fran Pastore

 
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” – Ben Franklin
 
Mr. Franklin certainly knew what he was talking about – especially for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs! That’s why Fran is joined by WBDC Business Advisor Carol Cheswick on today’s episode of Courageous Conversations. Carol has helped thousands of clients craft their business plan. She knows many entrepreneurs are overwhelmed by the idea of creating a business plan – and she has advice on how to make the process manageable and stress-free.
Fran & Carol also discuss how completing a business plan has helped WBDC Equity Match Grant applicants & recipients become more conversant in financial speak, which in turns has helped them secure other funding.
