"You are going to do what?"
There was a method to what they saw as my madness, though. I had previously worked for Franklin-Covey as a facilitator of two courses, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and First Things First. In a nutshell, these courses help participants appreciate the importance of leading a purposeful life.

What's Hot: Save It! "Business Plans For Dummies." This guide by Paul Tiffany, a management consultant and business-school professor, and Steven D. Peterson, a software designer and entrepreneur, is, quite frankly, the best work that you'll find on this subject. What makes this 354-pager a standout is that it urges business owners to write plans that are not only informative but captivating. Five stars!
-From Inc. Magazine, January, 2004
Twenty-three books published in 1997 have been selected as finalists in five main categories for The Financial Times, Booz-Allen & Hamilton Global Business Book Awards. In the "How-To" category, "Business Plans For Dummies" - which made it through to the shortlist - is a solid offering. One business expert who read it said that most big-company bosses would benefit from it: "The book makes it clear that a business plan is not just a budget." That is something too few executives realize.
