Business Planning
"Although I knew what a business plan was and researched most
aspects of it, I started my graphic design company in 2004
without a formal, written document. Having completed this
Business Planning class, I now have the tools and motivation to
create a business plan, and understand the importance of using
it as an on-going, dynamic resource to stay on track of my
business goals.
Whether your
business is at the concept stage or established, I recommend
this course. Arlene and Greg covered a vast amount of material
in an organized yet relaxed fashion in the classroom, and
continue to provide me with valuable support."

“The unique
fast-track training I
received from the Wyoming SBDC gave the class participants a
ticket to success and fulfillment through an in-depth
understanding of what it takes to start a new, or jump-start an
existing small business. By attending this seminar series; I was
afforded tutoring, assistance from local professionals and
experience with a private & confidential marketing focus group!
This course helped me clarify my vision, and kept me on track in
taking action to further my goals rather than reacting to daily
events and just hoping that things will miraculously work out.
By attending this seminar, I will have continued access to
professional resources and have added new a new cadre of small
business professionals to my network of support.”

“The Business
Planning class led by Greg Goettsch, of Business Resource
Systems, Inc., and Arlene Soto, of the Wyoming Small Business
Development Center over the last 2 months was very helpful and
well worth my time. Having run my company with varied success
for 3 years without a business plan, I found myself in the
strange position of being somewhat of a “veteran” business owner
among the rest of the Business Planning students who
participated recently. Even so, I found my attendance and the
insight and experience offered by Greg and Arlene to be
invaluable in doing two things: 1) The class boosted my
confidence and expectation that good things were going to happen
in my company, and 2) I received the tools I needed to get my
business plan under control. Thank you, Greg & Arlene!”
Sincerely,

“The topics,
questions and discussions covered in this business planning
classes caused me to really dig into the nuts and bolts of
gathering data for a business plan. Once I understood the depth
of research that I would have to go in order to validate my
business concept, I realized that I was not as
close to starting the business as I thought - I simply did not
have enough information starting a business requires.
Attendance in this class taught me that I need to do a lot more
research and a lot more planning in the core business processes
in order to give my start-up business the best chance for
success.
I believe
that continued participation in follow-on courses
will strengthen my knowledge base and will force me to ask
myself the hard questions and do the hard research an endeavor
such as this requires. I thank you for the time, effort and
willingness to share your experience in business start-ups.
Continue to count me in for future business planning courses and
seminars, they are invaluable!”

“This class gave me the opportunity to really grasp the areas of
understanding of the basics of running/owning a business. It
also opened the door to bounce ideas and suggestions off other
business owners in about the same time-frame of becoming in
business for myself.”

“This
class is a great opportunity to receive training and guidance
from two very seasoned professionals. All that was taught in the
class can be applied immediately. The length, and set-up, of
this class was very reasonable in time committed as well as
expectations of material taught. One of the biggest advantages
of this class was meeting other small business owners/start-up
owners and developing professional working relationships with
them as well as lasting friendships and peers. Definitely worth
the investment in time and money. Payback was huge given all
that I put into the class!!”

“I
think that anybody starting a business, thinking of starting a
business, or a young start-up company would be doing themselves
a huge favor by taking the classes offered by Arlene Soto and
Greg Goettsch.
I have always
dreamed of starting my own business, but the security of a
decent job had always kept me from following my dreams. After a
recent downsizing, I had to opportunity to reevaluate the
direction my life was taking. I decided to take the Wyoming
SBDC Business Planning Course. The information, direction, and
support I received during this course gave me the confidence I
needed to take the leap and strike out in business for myself.
While any new
business endeavor can be a daunting task, their systematic
approach to breaking it down into manageable sections helped
tremendously in our initial planning and organizational stages.
We were able to do our business plan in relatively quick time,
and the total time from concept to start-up will be less that 5
months. We could not have accomplished this without Greg's and
Arlene's direction and guidance.
In short, thank
you for sharing your considerable expertise and experience to
help those of us with a dream, but lacking the experience
necessary to get started correctly. I am confident that we are
on the right track, and thanks in large part to you, our
business will be successful in a relatively short period of
time.”
