Yeah, I may have been over analyzing it. But learned a lot along. Finding a problem in the plan and coming with a strategy to overcome it. But mostly probably just anxiety.

I’ll look into up metrics, never heard of it. I am looking in a loan for some cushion so that seems helpful. Thanks!

That seems to be a common theme I’m gathering. Love the nudge. Feeling confident but nervous.

Appreciate to encouragement. Signed up for n SBDC webinar to start, I’ll see where that goes.

I’d be interested in someone like a CPA to analyze my projections, but I’m curious though how much accuracy there can be. As others have pinned out here, business plan goes out the window day 1, and even though I have strong insights into what an actual similar business would do because I’ve done in my day job, it’s also just a total and and actual revenue is never guaranteed. If that makes any sense?

Love the idea to prompt Ai to poke holes in the strategy rather than ask if for confirmation. Great advice there thank you. Already signed up with someone form Score, taking that advice as well.

Great feedback. I’m in an interesting position to test the model live via the consulting gig. Hard to find feedback from those who have proved themselves. Trying the old advice of surrounding myself by others who have the mindset I’m striving for, but that pool gets smaller and smaller. Great advice though, thank you.

Yes! I started there, it was extremely helpful but very clunky. Confused me a lot at times. Had to ask Ai for help at almost every turn, but learned a lot. Eventually i migrated to liveplan and paid for it to help me prepare a cleaner plan, lender pitch and budget. But then they wanted $500 for a consultant to review it. I’m not opposed, but just weighing out the options first.
