They receive hundreds of plans every week and spend no more than ten minutes on each one before deciding if it is of further interest. This means that the plan needs to be a short, snappy document that conveys the facts about your business quickly and clearly. 
    This 3 Steps to Success Guide is a digest of David Bateman’s hugely acclaimed Business Plans that Get Investment and provides the basic steps for how to write a plan that has the information that an investor needs to see. It shows that it is a simple process that anyone can do it, irrespective of background or prior knowledge, to turn those ten minutes of attention into investment.

    The truths that I present are universal, and they are not exclusive to those who work in blue-collar trades such as carpentry. However, my work is intentionally directed at my fellow carpenters because they work so hard yet find little opportunity to hear these concepts. My AHAbook is intended for all who go out to work to provide for themselves and their loved ones. Without question, many of us have already realized a few of the ideas presented. We have been taught these ideas by parents and other mentors. But some folks, through no fault of their own, have never heard any of the ideas discussed in this book. If you're one of these people, then this book is just for you!Whether you have heard this before and it reminds you of something or refreshes your willingness to work toward your personal goals or if you are hearing this for the first time, the message is the same, the message is important, and the message works.My message to you is this: "Yes, you are good enough. Yes, you are worthy. Yes, your best is good enough. Yes, there is honor and dignity in all walks of life. And yes, yes, yes, you can be successful while working with your hands in a blue-collar occupation. Yes, you can be successful without formal education or a college degree."After all, I am a time-traveler, here to let you know what to expect in and to give you a glimpse as to what can be in store for you in the future.Hammering Out a Living is part of the THiNKaha series, whose slim and handy books contain 140 well-thought-out AHA messages.

    Find out everything you need to know about making more money, protecting your wealth and building a future of financial freedom! 
    Money. That's what almost all of us chase. Whether we like it or not, it's why most of us set our alarm clocks, hopefully only Monday to Friday. 
    What if I told you that the flow of money is infinite, and that only a few people turn the tap on and off as they please? Yes, it may sound like a joke, a cheap parlour trick. In fact, it is not magic, although as a system it is quite elaborate. 
    This book will help you understand everything you need to know about money, whether you have experience in finance, or whether you have no idea! 
    In these pages I'm going to tell you how it happens. Chewed up. In street language, and with as few technicalities as possible. You don't need to know anything beforehand to understand. Just read and not much more. 
    In fact, I have narrated it thinking that the only thing you know how to do with money is to earn it, save it and spend it. Not much more, and nothing less. Like the vast majority. 
    I get to the point. No filler content. No fluff. We are short of time and we are not in the mood for stories. 
    I will teach you to understand and control the game. 
    You will learn how to start standing up for yourself financially and never feel cheated again! 
    This book is the first of several, but with this one alone, your life will never be the same. 
    If you're waiting for investment recommendations, this is not your book. Not yet. If you're hoping to become a millionaire right now, it's not that either. 
    There are no magic pills or shortcuts here. What you will find are the economic pitfalls we tend to get stuck in, and with no way out! 
    So order your copy today and find out how easy it can be to master money!
