The ultimate purpose of developing a business plan is to have a
successful business. In the long run, it is fruitless to write a
business plan that can raise the funds you seek if your enterprise
is so poorly conceived it is bound to fail. So a successful
business plan should address the long-term needs of your business
and devise strategies that enhance both the overall performance of
your company and your personal satisfaction. Table of contents:

the room when you have the opportunity to present your business?
Are you uncomfortable approaching people you don't know? Does the
thought of speaking in public fill you with dread? If so, then you
share anxieties in common with almost everyone who has ever worked
and had to present themselves in a formal setting. In 1984 a New

of people's biggest fears. The top two responses were walking into
a room full of strangers and speaking in public. Winning

a powerful message, every time. Understanding how to give a winning
presentation is an absolute necessity in today's world. Sooner or
later, everyone has to give a presentation, whether at work (a
sales call, a briefing to the boss, participating in a seminar) or
in personal life (a class report, speaking at a community
organization). Yet the idea of getting up in front of others is
absolutely terrifying for many people. This handy guide shows
readers how to overcome their fear and create a great presentation
quickly and easily. This book covers all the most important aspects
of developing and delivering a successful presentation, including
content; organizing an effective message; delivery techniques,
