Hi,

First I would like to give you some background; My blog called Business Plan Prodigy aims to assist entrepreneurs with writing their business plan and get funding. In particular I focus on assisting and inspiring entrepreneurs who don’t necessarily have a business degree but are experts in the area around which they would like to build a business.

I am in the process of starting a new section for my business blog called ‘The Entrepreneur's Momentum’. This section will be designed to inspire and educate starting entrepreneurs by reading the stories of others who have walked the same path.

So this is where I need your help. I need your story! By sharing your entrepreneur's journey with my readers, you will become part of their journey. At the same time you will get free exposure of your business. You can include any link (s) that you like and even your logo above, below or on the side of the post containing your story.

Here are some questions that will guide you, but please don’t feel restricted by them. You don’t have to answer all of the questions below and certainly if there is any private information that you don’t want to share, I completely understand. If you feel like you have anything else interesting to share about your business by all means be as creative as you wish.

1. What is your business name?
2. What is your business about?
3. When and how did you come up with your business idea?
4. Did you have a business plan? If so continue with questions 5,6,7, and 8
5. Did you write it or did you hire someone to write it for you?
6. What did you use the business plan for?
7. If you wrote your business plan, do you have any advice for other on how to write their business plans?
8. Do you continuously update your business plan?
9. How did you get funding?
10. How much funding did you need?
11. Was it difficult to get funding?
12. Where did you look for funding (include even places where you were not successful at getting any funding).
13. When did you begin operations (year?)
14. How many people did you have on your team?
15. What were some major challenges?
16. What were your biggest successes?
17. Where is your business now (# of employees, market share, customer base, revenue?
18. Do you have some advice you can give starting entrepreneurs?
19. Is there anything else that you would like to share? Anything at all?
20. What were your biggest fears when you decided to start your won business?



Thank you and sorry for the long post.
