Business Plan for Badassery
by Mary Oquendo
Hey , hold on a second . Are you thinking of passing by this article because you don ’ t think you need a business plan as you :
Are not getting a bank loan for startup . Have been in business for a while . Think they are too hard to do .
I mean if God wanted you to know how to write a business plan , someone would write an easy to understand article on it .
