      Praise for

      Books from The Planning Shop

      “User-friendly and exhaustive…highly recommended. Abrams’ book works because she tirelessly researched the subject. Most how-to books on entrepreneurship aren’t worth a dime; among the thousands of small business titles, Abrams’ [is an] exception.”

      — Forbes

      “There are plenty of decent business-plan guides out there, but Abrams’ was a cut above the others I saw. The Successful Business Plan won points with me because it was thorough and well organized, with handy worksheets and good quotes. Also, Abrams does a better job than most at explaining the business plan as a planning tool rather than a formulaic exercise. Well done.”

      — Inc.

      “Abrams’ book offers a complete approach to creating your plan. Surrounding her explanatory material with commentary from top CEOs, venture capitalists, and business owners, Abrams helps you see your idea through the eyes of potential investors. Her book and your idea deserve each other.”

      —Home Office Computing

      “This book stands head and shoulders above all other business plan books, and is the perfect choice for the beginner and the experienced business professional. Rhonda Abrams turns writing a professional, effective business plan into a journey of discovery about your business.”

      —BizCountry

      “If you’d like something that goes beyond the mere construction of your plan and is more fun to use, try The Successful Business Plan: Secrets and Strategies, by Rhonda Abrams…this book can take the pain out of the process.”

      —Small Business School, PBS television show

      “I would not use any other book for my course on Business Development. The Successful Business Plan is the best I’ve ever seen, read, or used in a classroom environment.”

      —Prof. David Gotaskie, Community College of Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, PA
