A complete plan includes milestones that measure success at intervals over a three year period, provides financial projections, and includes an intentional, actionable marketing plan. This seminar includes all the steps in writing a plan that is useable and provides a solid foundation for a new or existing business. Pre-registration is required by Tuesday, May 2.
