It took me a while to recognize that this was written by the same person who does the Rich Dad Poor Dad. I found the book not only had your standard help with writing business plans but tips to attract investors and to create a more effective plan.

[Alexis Garcia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Having no formal business background, I found this book highly informative and beneficial. With aspirations of owning multiple businesses, I aim to incorporate these teachings and have barley started to learn the intricacies of business norms.

This is a good book to understand the financial system, operation of a business, investment, and creating a business plans.

This wasn't the book I was expecting. A friend asked me if I could write a business plan for her small business, but I said I didn't know how. Although she needed hers sooner than I could learn how to do it, I figured it would be useful, as a writer, for the future. This book is definitely geared to the small business owner, rather than the writer, and is written in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad anecdote-heavy style, which makes it very readable, but not terribly useful as reference. I didn't feel comfortable giving it any stars, because although it was useless for me, it might be useful for someone. But if anyone has any suggestions for a good book for writers wanting to add business plans to their skill list, I'd love to have them.

I enjoyed Kiyosaki's orignal Rich Dad, Poor Dad enough that when I decided to start creating a business plan for my latest business idea, this one was of two books I picked up on the subject. Of the two, this one had the lesser amount of interactive calls to action. But I found its compactness to be a good primer into the realm of business plan creation.

I'd probably recommend as a supplement to this, Business Plan Kit for Dummies (Petersen, Jeret, Schenck) as well.

[Mike Guzowski · Rating 4 out of 5]

Książka jest mocno intruktrażowa i stara się wytłumaczyć jak zrobić biznes plan uzupełniając komentarzami dla różnych branż. To z jednej strony nadaje jej wielobranżowej przydatności, ale z drugiej strony ciężko się to czyta.

Niemniej myślę, że warto ją przeczytać, bo szczegółowo strukturyzuje dokument będący spisanym business planem.

Generally, the Rich Dad's Advisors series produce a good book. This one was no exception. It had some excellent points for consideration not just for writing the business plan but for the marketing as well.

[Tiffany Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book, not only to learn the importance of various sections, but to also when & where to place them. His break-even analysis is a little more broad than what I've learned; his corresponding graph may be something I can use.

[Dan Korth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of good content. This was a little harder for me to get through than the typical Rich Dad Advisor book, I think largely because I'm not currently writing a business plan. A good overview for anyone that is though.

[Margot · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was very basic and more focused on a person starting their own home business than someone writing a business plan for a current business. Didn't read the whole thing.

[Bibliophi11]

A lot of insightful information in helping me to know how to write a good business plan but also how to set up my business properly.

wondrous way

[Eric · Rating 3 out of 5]

It may have too much information, but I'm glad I had a chance to read it. I did learn a lot from the Author.

[Chhenpheaktra]

I'm glad that I have a chance to know and read this book.

[Andrew Tyrrell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nothing revolutionary but good how-to from Rich Dad mindset. Solid and worth digesting for those writing a business plan.
