Customer Reviews ::

CD doesn't include the business plan - Los Gatos - Los Angeles, CA
The business plan in the book is a pretty good template to get you started, but it's an insult that the CD that comes with it doesn't have the business plan on it. So here I am at 3:45 AM typing it from scratch, using the CD as an all night coffee coaster.
