An Interpreneur’s Journey
is the story of Bill Partridge and his struggles to get a new
business off the ground. As I wrote the book, I developed a lot of
material describing the mechanics of business planning and the
startup process. I also created detailed budgets and sales
projections for Bill's business using Microsoft Excel. Some of this
material was too technical to be included in the book and other
sections had to be edited for length. Rather than leave this
material on the cutting room floor, I've made it available here for
those who are interested.
The
following documents contain information that may be useful if you
are about to launch a new venture. I especially encourage you to
explore the financial plans and see how they are structured. As I
explain in the book, a financial model for your business is a very
useful tool. Enjoy!
