DESCRIPTION

Here it is. The first novel ever written as a business plan. My first consulting job. I was told to write a business plan. I had no idea what a business plan was. This is my attempt to write a novel in the form of a business plan. At age 39, I entered the business world late and ultimately without much success. I was thrilled that the business world held sacred a form of prose based on fantasy, bluff and conjecture if not outright blarney. Ahhh…I thought: Hey this is right down my alley!So form follows function. Sit back and enjoy....From the Business Plan Handbook...The business plan process involves the creating, researching, developing and implementing of an enterprise. It will assist you in uncovering the issues that must be faced in the self-employment process.
