About David Worrell

NOTES & QUOTES

I'm often asked for advice on writing business plans, so I'd like to share with you the one thing you need to know: "Tell a Simple Story in a Compelling Way!"

Of course your business is complex, but your business plan should not be. If you cannot summarize your business in a few sentences, you aren't ready for investors. A business plan should never be more than 30 pages long... and then only if you do a thorough job of covering all the bases (like a 5-year budget!).

Shakespear said it best...

"An honest tale speeds best being plainly told."

- Shakespeare
(Richard III)
