This is a myth, because a formal Business Plan-as discussed in all forms of the media-is rarely required of any small business. There is a vast difference between business planning and writing a Business Plan, and Foster's book not only explains that difference, but shows the reader why ongoing planning is necessary, and how to best approach the entire planning process. With this book you will be able to: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the vital importance of business planning.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn why you should NOT write a \"Business Plan\".\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemystify how best to share your planning.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn about the best approach to investors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain an understanding of \"planning\" vs. a \"Business Plan.\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e All of this is from the entrepreneur's point of view-not from an investor's, business guru's, or academic's lofty views.
