Business Plan Don'ts!

Wow. It's been a while since I wrote my last post. Well to be honest I'm that good at writing :p
But there are many things I found in the internet I thought worth keeping and sharing to people who has the same mission as me: to be a kick-ass entrepreneur!

Well this morning I got a link about innovation and startups on Forbes blog. Turns out they have so many great stuff there!

This is one of my fave: Ten top investor turnoffs around business plans by Marty Zwilling
And very applicable to where I am now since I'm trying to raise money for Urbanesia and just planning to submit my business plan to Global Entrepreurship Program Indonesia hosted by Mekar.biz (More info go to http://gepi.mekar.biz)

The summary is here:
  1. Tease or spam the investor.
  2. Send the plan without a summary.
  3. No plan in the Business Plan.
  4. Embarrass your English teacher.
  5. Fill the text with acronyms.
  6. The base plan is a book.
  7. It’s all in an appendix.
  8. Don’t be negative.
  9. Prototypes and demos attached.
  10. Letters from your friends.
