What to do for Wednesday, Dec. 5

For today you will amend your business plans as necessary and add some financials. Here you will find  a simple template for developing a budget. You have done lots of research and perhaps have even come up with some costs. I know it's been a while since we discussed numbers, but let's just see how it goes. You will see that you can fill in your own categories, and your own numbers, and that the program will  do the math for you. Sweet! If you are unsure of what categories to put in, you might get some ideas from the Points East example. Do your best to come up with numbers that are reasonable, rational and well founded. Don't just manipulate numbers to get the result that you think looks best. The idea is just to get some experience playing around with numbers and to develop a sense of just how viable your project might be. Print out the results, add them to your final business plan, and submit to  my office by noon on Wednesday, Dec. 4.
