Product Questions - e-Book Course

I have to prepare a business plan, would it help me to read your business survival manual, "Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses - Profit from your Business Risks!"?

Yes, absolutely!

Although the manual doesn't cover the usual content of a business plan, or the process to develop it, it does cover a very important part of your business plan, namely to identify the potential pitfalls (the inherent risks of the business venture). This is a part which is often neglected. Unfortunately, too many business owners start their businesses without giving a second thought to the potential pitfalls!

Regardless of whether you already operate a business or plan to start one, you will be in a better position to obtain venture capital for your business by developing a business plan in which you can show the bank or venture capitalist that you have identified your business risks and how you are planning to deal with it in order to grow.

This will prove to them that you are not only dreaming about business success, but that you are standing with both feet on solid ground by acknowledging the fact that you do face risks and that you have planned to deal with it.

In other words, that you have identified countermeasures to protect their investment capital and your profits against the negative financial impact of the business risks you are facing.

In the manual we show in detail how to calculate the negative financial impact of your business risks as well as the cost of your countermeasures.

As a result, you will be able to motivate why you have decided to counteract or not to counteract certain business threats on a sound economical basis. You will be able to illustrate to your bank or venture capitalist that you have identified cost-effective countermeasures and that they and your business will profit from it!

What kind of business disciplines does your business survival manual, "Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses - Profit from your Business Risks!" cover?

Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses - Profit from your Business Risks! is an e-manual, covering business planning, profit protection and business development strategies. It covers, in detail, the profit protection methodology. Case studies cover various business disciplines over a broad spectrum, so as to illustrate how to implement the profit protection solution and how to use the two survival techniques that are inherently part of the solution.

In the near future more courses and other publications will be published. These will be covering certain specific business disciplines (e.g. Human Resources, Finance, IT etc.) in much more detail.

However, in order to grasp the message of these upcoming publications fully, it is important to study Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses - Profit from your Business Risks! first - as it provides the basis for all our other publications with regards to profit protection and business developing strategies within specific business disciplines.

You state that I am entitled to free coaching support. Does that mean you will come to my country to assist me in implementing the solution you advocate in the course?

No, unfortunately, that won't be practical. We only answer questions via e-mail.

We will answer your questions regarding the contents of the course, the solution and the techniques at no charge. The quality of our answers will obviously depend on the amount and correctness of information you provide us with in your questions.

You are more than welcome (and we encourage you) to contact us by e-mail. We will provide you with our coaching support e-mail address after you have placed your order. It is our commitment to answer your questions within 2 working days.

In terms of your promise to provide free coaching support, will you help us create our company's risk database/profile or implement our profit protection strategies?

Unfortunately, this won't be very practical either!

We will answer your questions regarding the contents of the course, the solution and the techniques via e-mail (i.e. should you have any uncertainties about the "how to"). This doesn't mean we will do the job for you. The course was developed as a Do-It-Yourself course, providing you with enough information to do it yourself and then to assist you by straightening out any possible uncertainties and questions concerning the "how to."

In other words, our free coaching support is provided to you so that you may have the chance to clarify any possible uncertainties surrounding the contents of the course and how to implement it in your business. YOU (as owner or manager) are the ideal person to implement and apply the solution and techniques presented in our business survival course. Our goal is to add new techniques to your business survival kit and to instruct you in using these in future. We want to help you change your patterns of thought, so that you will be able to deal with any risk situation that might (will!) come your way in the future.
