Have you ever heard the saying, "If you don't know where you're going, be
careful because you might get there"?  Starting a business without a plan is
like going on a trip without a map.  A business plan steers you in the right
direction to start, build and manage your business.
On Tuesday, Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. - Noon, the Navarro College Small Business
Development Center will sponsor a session on WRITING A WINNING BUSINESS PLAN at
Citizen's National Bank, 310 N. 9th Street, Midlothian 76065.
Cost of the workshop is $20.00 and is for anyone wishing to start a business or
already in business.  PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, AS SEATING IS LIMITED.  To
register, call the Navarro College SBDC at (972) 923-6425 or email
sbdc@navarrocollege.edu.
Robin Lasher, experienced entrepreneur and Director at Navarro College SBDC,
will explore the reasons why a business plan is critical to the success of any
business, especially if the business owners are looking to get a loan or an
investor.  Robin will explain the general format, the sections of a business
plan, and what information is required for each section.
Navarro College SBDC is a partnership program with the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
