"The One Page Business Plan is perfect for our typical entrepreneurs we work with; most are not college educated. The vocabulary and delivery system is really simple yet teaches the profound business concepts that are critical for their success. This is a less intimidating class that will be very appealing to many of our entrepreneurs, particularly those that might be language challenged. We are looking forward to taking the training in October!"
Lisha Garcia, Director of Diversity & Women's Business

"I have had the pleasure of using the One Page Business Plan at the Graduate School of Business at the New Hampshire College and used it for micro and small business planning in Ethiopia at the Addis Ababa Commercial College. The One Page Business Plan is especially useful for individuals that have limited writing skills and for those coming from cultures where the value of verbal communications exceeds written forms. The concise form and formulations of Jim Horan’s One Page planning process encourage a level of original design not seen in traditional forms. As an instructor and trainer, I rate the One Page Plan an A+ for versatility and fostering innovation and critical thinking."

"I use The One Page Business Plan in my individual client advising sessions and business plan classes. Participants love the interactivity of the workshop, they are fully engaged for the entire program and they leave with a solid draft of their plan after a 3 hour class. The program is easy to teach, it gives our clients a great platform to further refine their thinking about their new ventures. I highly recommend One Page Plans!"
Noah Brockman, SBDC Business Plan Advisor

"Where I am really seeing the application of the One Page Business Plan is as an executive summary that helps the entrepreneur to focus... and set priorities on how they are going to implement the long list of overwhelming tasks they need to accomplish.The One Page Plan is very powerful for people that way....we are using the OPBP with our incubator clients and now all of them have a clear action plan for 2010. We have been offering One Page Business Plan workshops for over 10 years; participants love it; always leave with very clear plans!"

"I taught the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management in the Saint Mary’s Executive MBA program for almost 20 years. I wish the One Page Business Plan an had been available at that time, as I believe it is the perfect planning tool for owners of closely held businesses at all stages of development and evolution. All business students would benefit from mastering this tool!"

"In the six years we have conducted the program we have found The One Page Business Plan process and book the best resource for teaching business planning efforts. Entrepreneurs and consultants equally share their ease in following the instructions, telling us about their 'ah ha' moments in completing the exercises and especially value the workbook format minimizing the time it takes to apply the learning. We highly recommend The One Page Business Plan process and books.”
Catherine Marsh, Mentoring Chairperson
Phoenix Chapter President
National Association of Women Business Owners

"The more I use The One Page Business Plan book the more valuable I realize it is. I would recommend using this invaluable tool for all businesses whether just starting out as I was or going through growth and in need of refocusing.”
