In this book, I provide you with the simple road map you need to start a business that puts $1,000,000 in your personal bank account - regardless of your location, education, race, gender, or age. You'll hear stories of everyday people from all backgrounds that I've personally interviewed and vetted, from people with graduate degrees to high school dropouts and from yard guys to corporate professionals. Really, the only thing they all have in common is that they've put $1,000,000 in the bank (or will shortly).

(Even seasoned business plan writers will learn one or two things, I promise!) I have included two different types of business plan templates.
