This is literally a college 101 business class packed into 11 minutes for free. Excellent content!

You said you started with no skills or plans BUT the key is that you started!! My biggest hurdle right now is just starting. Great video's and keeping helping others!

Gillian, described 5 of the 6 parts of the business plan clearly. She did not address #5 is production and delivery. This is self explanatory and basically you’ll outline what that looks like including timelines. Gillian, thank you for this quick explain! I got a book last week and have been struggling. Much success to you and your TEAM! 💚🌎✍️

you've actually managed to boil a business down into something that seems less intimidating than most articles!! i'll be reading these articles and i'll be put off of making a business plan because it just feels like so much all at once, but you just shortened it down enough to make it seem feasible!

Hi Gillian! I'm Joy, 63 years old. Your presentation is awesome. I learned so much. I'm hoping to start my very first business. I wrote my business plan while you talked, pausing as I needed. It only took me about 2 hours. You were extremely helpful. Thank you very much! I subscribed.

[SAnderson]

This is why you've grown so quickly. A lot of influencers will tell you, you can do it (and mindset is very important) but you give mindset AND specific strategy! I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are a God-send!

[DiketsoMashego]

Hi Gillian, I wanted to thank you personally for this video. I love how detailed you are with every section and appreciate your assistance. I am now equipped to start writing mine. May the Lord bless you.

[bellasdead]

jesus, what an amazing video! you didn't waste time getting to what i wanted to know and you were SO concise but also put things in terms that i could understand as someone with no prior business experience. very thorough and extremely educational. huge thanks!

[gillianzperkins]

I'm so glad to see that so many of you have found this video to be so helpful! A few people have asked why I didn't go into more detail about the fifth page of the business plan. That page is about "Production & Delivery" which is an aspect of business that is VERY different from one company to the next (for example, how tooth brushes are produced and delivered is very different than how security software is produced and delivered).
So this part of your business plan will be unique to your company. Hope that makes sense!

Gillian Perkins ... that is all I can say... no words to express how thankful I am for this video.

[sakitnyati]

I'm so glad I came across this content..
I'm 25 years old planning to begin my business ventures for the rest of my life.
My journey has begun; my motivation has been reactivated.
Good luck to me and my future.
Thank you so much !

I also wrote my business plan along with the video pausing when needed to catch up and learned a lot along the way of what I need to be focusing on. I was happy with myself for already having a well laid out plan just needing to see what areas to focus on to get going. Great video!

[liliancharles]

I must confess this is one of the best break down of business plan I have ever seen and trust me I have watched so many videos. Thanks so much for sharing ur knowledge. I just subscribed

[shilohdillard]

I am amazed at how helpful this was. I’m only have a business idea right now, and this was a wonderful tutorial on how to structure my idea so it can become reality.

[michaelbacile]

Dude, this is invaluable! I’m in the midst of a blue collar start up (demo company) and I can’t tel you how much more clearly I see my business. I’m forwarding this to all my buddies, even the ones who are already in business!

Who is here because of an assignment ?😭

[keondriaevans]

This video is so easy to understand! Thank you for sharing this information without overloading us with big words only business majors understand.

[GrowWithaLawyer]

Great content. Keeping it relatively simple so it’s easy to start and not get overwhelmed. I do something similar with my start up and micro business clients while also adding personal elements as well. My thoughts are that we should also plan around our family, friends, spiritual and personal finance goals. Thank you!

Hi Gillian, As a Parent Coach and creator of Educational Printable Shop. I had really difficult time creating a Business Plan that was simple and straight to the point. Thank You So Much For Creating This Video!! It Was Super Helpful! I learned so much!! I really enjoyed the part where I am trying to complete the business plan template while I'm watching your video, then rewinding, then playing and then pausing. Thank You!!

[liftstory]

Hi Gillian,

I usually never comment on any videos here on youtube but this content of yours has helped me to create an actual useful business plan, prior to seeing your video I wrote overcomplicated, messy looking and sounding plan. Thank you so much for sharing this!
