"The
One Page Business Plan® is an out and out winner.
Period. It makes great sense to me as a so-called 'business thinker'.
But the acid test was applying it to a startup I co-founded. We
spent several days drafting our one pager -- and have been editing
it ever since. It is a powerful, living document, the very nature
of which has led us to important new insights. One Page Business
Plan = the proverbial better mousetrap!"

his valuable book, The One Page Business Plan®,
Jim Horan not only removes the mystique from business plans, but
also leads you by the hand through crafting the best plan possible:
clear, focused understandable and concise. I consider the book
to be a significant contribution to business literature."

"I
hadn't purchased this book because I thought it was a joke. I
had seen this book around but hadn't purchased because I didn't
think a one-page business plan, even if possible, could be of
any practical use.
So what changed my mind - why did I purchase it?
I saw the author speak and he made a lot of sense, so I thought
I had better get his book and check it out once and for all. If
half of what he said was right - this one page business plan was
going to be a big help.
It so happened I had a long 14 hour flight in front of me and
took the book along to read. Its friendly style, graphics, and
plain good sense... enticed me to do the exercises as I went (which
I never usually do). Answering the questions for my business and
me.
Not only had I finished the book by the end of the flight, but
I also had time to type up the final product on my laptop. I guess
having already done a full blown traditional business plan for
the business helped.
I have to say I was feeling pretty pleased with what I had produced.
I felt more focused and had a much clearer picture of what the
most important things were that needed to be achieved next.
But the most thrilling part was when I presented it at our staff
meeting - they loved it. They could clearly see where we were
heading, what we had to achieve, and it gave them a clear framework
in which they could make the decisions they have to make everyday.
But actions speak louder than words, since I have purchased another
10 copies to give away to my product managers (so they can do
a plan for their products) and the CEOs of other businesses I
am involved in.
I think the one page business plan is a great management tool
that will have a very positive effect on our business. I am already
seeing the benefits.
I guess the joke was on me!"
