Reflections of Making a Business Plan

Paragraphs of casual self-praise, color-coordinating, and minute alignment later, I have successfully made a professional looking business plan. This exercise was a first for me and I'm happy to say that I think it turned out quite well. I was surprised at the difficulty of writing about my business idea in a manner that would make it appeal to investors and incite excitement for a new venture. It was kind of like finding that fine line between excitedly telling a friend about something awesome while still remaining coherent enough for them to understand. The visual part was definitely the hardest for me. I wanted it to look nice, but also professional. Since my area of expertise is not graphics, I tried to keep it simple and classy by adding color and textual difference. Overall creating my business plan was a positive exercise that pointed out my strengths and weaknesses of presentation.
