Experts Views on the Value of Business Plans: Part 2


I learned a lot while researching Kevin Gieger and Doctor Steven Gedeon for my previous blog post. I plan to incorporate what I learned into my business plans by finding ways to intermingle both people’s ideas. Their ideas and lectures where very interesting and I truly feel like I learned a lot from them. I know that it’s very important to have a good business plan when talking to investors. I know that I will take what I learned from these men and definitely apply it to my business plan. I hope to improve my business plan from what learned from my research. I already feel like I have improved my business plan just from the minimal research I have done on these two men. I plan on doing much more research on these men and looking into doing research on many more people. I hope to learn a lot from researching people who are in my industry and have had very much success. My business plan is certainly in it’s early stages and it has a lot of room for improvement, with all the research I plan on doing I am positive that my business plan will get better. It is very important to have a good business plan before you actually start your business, you shouldn’t just blindly try and start a business without doing any research. Research these men and people like them can greatly help you improve your business plan. A good business plan is the most important thing you can have when going to meet with investors to try and start your business. You must research and write out a very good business plan prior to meeting with investors. The research I did on these men has greatly helped me with my business plan. I am very glad I researched these men and I am excited to do more research to learn how else I can improve my business plan.
