Recently I chatted with top marketer Michael Penland about the secrets of succeeding in our field, and here's one of the things he told me:"Understanding what business you're really in can double, triple, or even quadruple your income. So I want to begin by asking you a question-it's the same question I always ask at every seminar I ever conduct, and of every business owner with whom I do consulting. I want to ask you this question right now. "The question is this: 'What business are you in?'"You know, 99 out of 100 people who are asked that question will give the wrong answer. See, most of them will tell me their business is either marketing, or real estate, or network marketing, or health products, or information products, or chiropractor, or carpet cleaner, or this, or that, or whatever-some other business."You know, here's the bottom line... all of us are really in the same business. There's just one business, and we're all in it, or we should be, and the business we're in is the people business, the relationship business. "Now let me say that again, guys. You're in the relationship business. If you're not, you're really not in business at all. You're really not."I want to...more

Business planning software can speed the process of your business plan development and include advice from business plan experts to guide you. However, it may be difficult to choose between the many business planning software programs and tools available online. These are a few areas to consider when you choose between business planning tools. Sector SpecificIf the software or template you use for your business plan can offer an outline specific to the business sector you will be in, so much the better. For example, the type of questions you have to ask will be different depending on whether you are creating a product, delivering a service, or doing both. Also, the revenue and cost drivers of business sectors will be different from each other and you can save time in customization. Software or a template that is built towards being extremely generic will require much more work and will not teach you anything about your specific sector. Creators Reputation and ExpertiseRather than focusing on price alone, pay special attention to the reputation of the tools maker. Have they had years of experience and documented success in creating successful, funded business plans? Look for where...more
