For some of you, descriptions of processes involved in setting up your business team, gathering and sifting through information, making choices about specialty products, what shape marketing efforts might take and the like are included. Articles are meant to help you carry out the tasks essential to writing your business plan. There is no single correct way to work through some of these processes.
