Hey friends! I just wanted to let you know that there's now an updated version of this video. đ You can watch it here: czcams.com/video/WEoaRb84UeE/video.html
Right on time, because I've been struggling with this business plan for two years. The whole time we've been in business. But didn't need one until now that we're growing. đ
Immediately better soon as I pressed play LUL
Thank you so much for this Gil
What do you mean about legal structure what is that
thanks so much đ I've being given an assessment for this, kindly show me where you have the typed document so that I use it as a template to create mine
Fabulous! As I was woundering if you covered Point #5 Production & Delivery? Ill watch today! đ„°đ
This is literally a college 101 business class packed into 11 minutes for free. Excellent content!
No itâs not
đ
I agreeâŠI spent money on a class that took a whole semester and I learned pretty much everything she said⊠although because of that class I did have some understanding of the subject. I was mainly watching this video for a quick refresh, but it was some very good content
I'm taking a college class now, and she basically went through chapter 1 through 6 !!! đ

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!
@EmtronVenger Start doing, believe in your ideas by knowing Your why, and later make plans as you carve the path on your way to SUCCESS!
OMg that is my biggest problem but this is motivation and i hope by the time you seen this that your business is booming
@EmtronVenger Why do you even ask people?
Why do you even listen to people?
So true. That's been my fear the past few years now
EmtronVenger I feel that.. and most of them come from the people who should have my back; family.
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 youâll 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! đđâïž
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!
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!
Thank you Gillian.
Your advice was very helpful.
Thanks for this this was simply perfect and productive
THANK YOU lol. I thought that's what it was but was surprised you didnt address it. GREAT video thank you love!

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.
I did the exact same thing
did you find success?
@@Al-of3zp can you tell me whats the word in the first box she wrote when talking about the business mission chart of accountablity
@@literallyded438 yup i didnt get it too what was that?

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.
Gillian Perkins ... that is all I can say... no words to express how thankful I am for this video.
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!
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!
Dude, this is invaluable! Iâm in the midst of a blue collar start up (demo company) and I canât tel you how much more clearly I see my business. Iâm forwarding this to all my buddies, even the ones who are already in business!
I am so thankful I came across this video, because I did not know where to quit start with my business plan but I had the concept of an ideal business plan down pact. This help me break down each step, now I can finally start! đđœ
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
I am amazed at how helpful this was. Iâm only have a business idea right now, and this was a wonderful tutorial on how to structure my idea so it can become reality.
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!
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 !
This video is so easy to understand! Thank you for sharing this information without overloading us with big words only business majors understand.
200K!!! đ I feel like I blinked and missed it đ Been watching since about 30k and couldnât be happier for your success or more grateful for your help and support via your videos. đđ» Well done Gillian x
Thank you so much! â€â€â€ I'm completely amazed myself!
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!!
My goodness thank you so very much. My CEO asked me to write one. 45 years old and I had no idea; went for templates! This was extremely helpful. It's wonderfully concise and relatable. It's encouraging. It helps lay out a very strong foundation. It's very generous of you to share this information, and you have beautiful hair to top it off!
Thank you again!
how did it turn out?
Great content. Keeping it relatively simple so itâs 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!
Love the simple outline! This is exactly what my brain needs to get going on getting everything organized. Thank you so much! I am sad that page5 on Production and Delivery was skipped :( is there another video with it or more information somewhere about that section?
Hi Gillian you are by far the best CZcams! Concise and down to earth.
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!
I agree, the business plan itself isn't the most important part. But getting everything down in a structured document is a great way to think your business through!
How TIMELY. I was looking for something like this earlier today. Thank you!
Skyla đđđ
Hope youâve started your business, howâs it going a year on?
I never thought that there are still free of charge in this days. Thank you very much for sharing important things on how to start a business. Much appreciated. Bless your heart.
I love the fact that you said not to put off writing the business plan because you don't know everything. This is exactly what has been holding me back. Great points made!
Girl! This is SO GOOD. I use to psych myself out with a "Big Scary Business Plan". It took me years to do even a portion of what you just described in 11 minutes. Legit, people, follow this to a T! It'll be hard work but it's literally covering EVERYTHING you need to figure out. Also, Gillian...CONGRATS ON 200k SUBSCRIBERS!!! đđđ đ đ đ
Hello đ Tara
Iâm just curious if you're open to taking e a look at another recommended source of income that could be of great benefit to you?
If not a problem I thought I should ask
This is really inspiring, I'm working on mine already. Thanks đđ
Hey! I am from India. I was really confused in deciding my business idea, jotting it down to somewhere concisely and precisely. But after seeing your video on the same problem of mine. I got a good roadmap on deciding what to write for a business. Thank you so much for your help. Great job and marvelous efforts put in.
I'm 24 and finally realized what it is I want to do with my life! I don't get along with my dad but as a business owner, he inspired and continues to inspire me to not work for anyone and to run a successful business. I'm so excited! I won't be starting a business per say, but rather an organization that helps people.
im just starting to so im just going to go for it , I like the idea of just finding out what people really want so that's where I will start
Thank you Iâm starting a business and Iâm only 14 this helped a lot. My sister wanted me to make a business plan but I did not know where to start.
FINALLY a video that makes actual sense on how to right a business plan. THANK YOU so much for this information!
Thank you so much. I worked on this business plan for the past 5 days and I am ABSOLUTELY HAPPY with the results.
Thank you so much. Iâm a teenager, and I just started my lipgloss Business! It has been very successful so far, thanks for this đ
Hi
Congratulations :)
Hell ya!! Get it x
Hi, can I ask for an update?
@@friedpotato3148 hi! I ended up doing my trade in cosmetology and learned how to do nails for a few years. I now have tons of loyal customers who trust me to do their hair and nails and I love what I do. What Iâve learned to be most important is to know your worth! Undercharging is a mistake I made for a while!
Great combined communication skills with knowledgeable information. Very useful content. I really appreciate the time you took to explain it thoroughly by simplifying it and explaining the terminology! May God bless you in incredible ways for being a resource. I appreciate your help and services. Thank you for being a neighbor. May Godbless you with more. And for all the viewers: may they be successful in their business development journey. This video made me feel like I've seen a whole hour or two hours worth of work/information simplified in 11 minutes!! Great Job. Keep up the wonderful work.
I am in the process of starting my own courier service and this has been very helpful in creating my business plan. Look forward to more of your videos. Thank you!
Thank you!! I love that you simplify it. I've been avoiding making a business plan for a while because it seemed so overwhelming. Now I'm finally getting through it.
Thank you... this was informative and I hope it will help me to drive my business at the right direction
I literally can't believe this is free. Thank you for this excellent content xx
I made 8 business plans. For 4 businesses ideas and 2 each, since I was planning to pitch for a loan or get help from investors but never went through with it the fastforward to the month I'm having a chance at working alongside my mother and father for creating their businesses and I just learned the proper way to make a business plan from you and for that thank you and God bless with hope you succeed in whatever you strive for
To think this video was created 2years ago and Iâm just seeing it now. Wow! This was indeed helpful, Iâm sold out to this community. I subscribed and downloaded free template, I canât wait to start writing đ Thank you, Gillian
Thank you for not being a âgatekeeperâ type of person. Printed this and made my planning a breeze đ
Wow! Your video was amazing, thank you so much. I really appreciate the time and effort that you have put into this video.
For like a month now. I had no clue where to start with my business plan this vid was helpful THANK YOU SO MUCHđđ
GOD BLESS â€
It's been about a year since I first watched this video. I've used your outline to help me make sense of three different business ideas: one was a personal finance podcast with me and my husband, one is my husband's bookkeeping and forensic accounting business, and one is my pregnancy and birth services. This outline is so simple and straightforward and well-organized. So helpful! And it was also helpful to watch the video a couple of times to be sure I oriented myself well with the intention of each element. Thank you so much!
This video was helpful and so awesome Megan! Have you publicly launched your business yet? Sounds like awesome services.
Great to hear. How's your plan going so far?
This is the simplest step by step plan I can follow. Thank you girl! Blessingsđđ

I love how compact you've made this plan! Intentional action is amazing.
this video is THE best video I've ever watched on How to create a business plan. You literally give NO fluff and details while making it super easy!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Glad it was helpful!
@@gillianzperkins you said to message you but now I don't see the message. None the less I wanted to circle back and send you a message! I am new to the page but your business model lets me see where there are gaps and really makes me feel like it's ok to have those gaps when the entire time not having the info has made me feel inadequate and been the point of my procrastination. So I thank you for your display of grace and gentleness. It is helpful for a recovering perfectionist
I was really thinking abt my business as I watch u speak.
I appreciate this advice but I cant help but notice how amazing your hair is!
Amazing miss Perkins sorry if I spelt your name incorrectly. I am a young entrepreneur myself and I am glad that there are videos like yours out there to give us a leg up in the right direction superb! Bravo!
This was amazing Gillian, thank you! I started a business but got lost.....I realised I had to go back and re-write my biz plan all over again but got overwhelmed with where to start....This really helped me re-focus! (Peace - from Aus đŠđș )
Manda, lâve been where you are. Lost and having to go back to re-write the business plan. If only life and business were linear, but the beautiful mess makes it all worth it. Enjoy the ride. Wishing you much success on your journey my friend.
Gillian, you must be looking into my life right now because someone just mentioned to me and asked if I had a business plan last week, and after that, I had been wondering how detailed it needed to be/what needed to be in it etc! And I was feeling overwhelmed bc when I googled âbusiness plans,â everything seemed way too complicated. You broke this down and made it super understandable. Thank you so much!!
Yes she did! I felt the same way as you. She really made this understandable and clear for us and not so daunting.
Yes! So glad I watched this video!!
Hi, Gillian - Thanks so much for creating and producing this simplified tutorial on business plans. You made me feel so much better and excited about making my product happen. Again, thanks.
Spike, lâd love to knowâŠwhat product are you making?
Thank you so much for your free business-plan template, it is very useful for me and has helped me a lot to understand better what i want to do and to organise me at the beginning of my small business. I am 15 and you just helped a young and unexperienced entrepreneur to go after her dream. I am grateful.
I have always struggle with writing a business plan but you were a bright light, thanks for making more understandable, I will start working at my business plan.
Honestly, this has helped so much! I really didn't think I needed a business plan to start a business but this one helped me map out everything so well! Thank you!
Let's become a friend
Hello đ Jessica
Iâm just curious if you're open to taking e a look at another recommended source of income that could be of great benefit to you?
If not a problem I thought I should ask
This is amazing I just downloaded the plan.
I'm so excited to write it. I've been thinking for a very long time but couldn't really understand what to write and how to write.
Now with your template it gives me enough idea of what I'm going to do now.
So thankful for the information and hopefully I'll do great.
Love from India đźđłâ€
Hello đ Sanjay
Iâm just curious if you're open to taking e a look at another recommended source of income that could be of great benefit to you?
If not a problem I thought I should ask
This is hands down the best 101 I've watched so far, very detailed!! Thank you
Gillian you are God sent... Am so excited and glad I listened to this... I love everything about it!
This was super helpful!
Amazing breakdown and creation of this template! Extremely well thought out, in-depth, clear, and helpful! Great Job making this available!
Best thing I clicked on whole month... this is perfect... thank you
Thank you, for making the business plan simple and giving the free template. Greatly appreciated. I have access to a business plan in many forms, but you made it simple and it gave me the energy to begin again.
Thank you!! And this is why you will have great success because you're always giving out nuggets. đ
This is amazing and extremely helpful - I signed up for your email list, the more in-depth explained information the better ! Thank you so much more sharing this
one of the best and clear business plan template! I used it as my base, + I developed with additional - Operational plan, Sales&Marketing strategy, Financial plan .
Thanks for putting this out there! I am trying to write my business plan but the format that most guides gives feels a little advanced since I haven't actually put anything together yet. Your example which focuses on goals is much more appropriate for where I am right now.
Thank you ,Gillian.
My biggest appreciation to you Gillian and Beljius Hinrichs the grant writer I hired. My business grant proposal request of $250,000 was approved on the 10th of July and I've received the funds in my account today.
Congratulations, when you applied for your business grant, did you have
vour business plan ready to summit?
Can you provide something on Production and Delivery?
Great info, thanks
THANKYOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT ALONG THE VIDEO, especially when you say that it is okay if there are a lot of things I havent figured out yet, by writing it down I feel it my dream coming closer! really appreciate it!
I just loved that your easy to follow and also you have motivational tone and that's very powerful.
I think page 5 was skipped. Such great info, though.
Yeah I just noticed that too, I'm kinda annoyed about that. GILLIAN please can you explain step five at some point?
Rooster Arts Iâm not exactly business savvy, but I think skipping step five was done purposely. Skipping the step forces you to want to download the âfreeâ document she provided in the description. It will not allow you to download the document without entering a name and an email. I do have to applauded the lengths to which some click bait will go.
There are ton of free business plan templates online from respected sources, so you dont have to fall for the bait. Good luck!
scarlettenoir What do you mean?
Yeah I know right
What happed to the production and delivery section? It was missed. This was great!
Gillian, thank you so much for sharing your experience!!! I found this to be extremely helpful, especially for someone like me who has no idea where I should start with my business plan. Also appreciate you sharing the free guide to coming up with a business plan - bless you!!
P.S. I think you've got a cool handwriting!!

I've already subscribed.
Thanks and God bless you Gillian!
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!
You have definitely stepped up your game of late. Your earliest videos were great, don't get me wrong. But this most recent handful is notably more professional and your delivery of the content smoother. Great watching you grow. :)
Thank you! I appreciate you saying so.
Hey Gillian I think you missed page 5 Production and Delivery. Other than that great info thank you so much.
Ok, I thought I was going crazy. She really did go from 4 to 6! thank you!
noticed the same. She omitted page 5. Maybe if she cld do like a short clip then link it to this video so that we catch up on what we missed. Otherwise the rest is excellent
WOW! this is by far the best illustrated business plan guideline i have seen , thank you so much
Thank you! Iâve been sitting on my business for 2 years now but I saw this video and itâs very informative and helpful! Iâve been intimidated of even starting since I dropped out of college! But you give a great mindset and strategy! Using a easy layout for all to understand! Iâm going to start up my business plan now!! Hopefully in 1 year my life is changed
I'm so excited for you! Thank you for sharing. â€ïž

Hi Gillian, great work on the video and the rest of your content; some great stuff here!
Within this video you reference in the beginning 6 'steps' to discuss, however the 5th, Production and Delivery, are never referred to in the video. Did I miss it? Thanks! Keep up the great content!
Hi Jillian! I don't see the attached form you mentioned. However I do see the link of your website, but it does not direct me to the form you mentioned.
you dumb or something this isn't in-depth at all
Page 5? Production and Delivery?
Pay attention to the Sales technique used. Always think outside the box and how to always expand.
Great work!
Base your business on a main product is great advice, I've seen many entrepreneurs fail because they simply had a lot of products on their hands. Great video! đ
This is such a fantastic idea! Thank you very much for making this video Gillian!
This was so helpful thank you.was drowning in templates and getting more confused.God Bless
Dear Gillian,
This video is highly interesting and helpful. Thank you some much for doing it.
I would have loved to see page 5: Production&Delivery further developed in the video.
Yes that would be helpful.
I thought I missed something haha!
I just downloaded her Business plan and let me tell you, this is the best FREE Template ever!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
This video helped me out a lot! No BS just straight to the point I love it!
Yes, section 5 please. I love how you explain everything.
Hello đ Christian
Iâm just curious if you're open to taking e a look at another recommended source of income that could be of great benefit to you?
If not a problem I thought I should ask
Wow! What a perfect cinematography!
Thank you for this information. You explained it better than any video I've just watched here on CZcams and earned yourself a new subscriber. Next year I'm starting my own business and I needed this information real bad, I'm grateful.đ„°
To be honest.. you really helped me. 11 minutes felt like 1 minute.. I didn't want it to end.. would have subscribed for your membership if I had the funding.. thank you for your time and effort
Great video but sadly you skipped number 5: production and delivery.
Thanks anyway, your video gave me a great start.
Such a helpful video!
The music is too loud and distracting please tone it down the next time thanks!
Exactly! You have the desire to build something successful, but have no idea what to build! I was there for quite some time, but finally found out what i want to build. đ€đ»đ
I completely love this and it was so helpful, thank you.
