Andrea has shared information showcasing her knowledge of creating a successful business plan with many companies. Andrea feels the importance of asking for money is very high before there is no cash left. “Going to investors at too late a stage is a risky strategy, Better is to look at the long-term objectives and aspirations of the business and plan the fundraising sensibly into this long-term strategy,” (http://www.thenextwomen.com/(2008)  The business plan should answer the question of why it is important and how will it make it amongst it’s competitors.



Chuck Blakeman

Chuck Blakeman has a special approach to business.  His approach has influenced thousands of small businesses in the way their owners carryout their planning. He is noted for starting five businesses that very in complexity, and a couple of non-profit organizations.  He has been the speaker at workshops and engagements numbering at over 100, and has been quoted by NY Times.com, CNN Money.com, and Entrepreneur Magazine.

Chuck Blakeman specializing in getting businesses started without a business plan.  This is a highly controversial argument.  Most investors want potential owners to predict how the company will do in the future.  Chuck believes that it is a waist of time trying to play fortuneteller, when you can actually be doing business.  Life always gets in the way of the best plans.  Everyone knows where they want to go in business, but no matter how well things are planed we often have to change those plans and adapt to life.
