Many businesses these days opt to release new products under the guise of an entrepreneur. Research shows the public are ten to a hundred-time more receptive to the “poor-man-done-good” story that sits with an entrepreneur than they are to large conglomerates swallowing everything whole and releasing new products left, right and centre. A business plan aid can help your entrepreneur make great decisions, as well as look and sound the part in the media.

The history of business plan aids

There are several business plan aids on the market today. Entry level models provide basic direction, economic guidance, elasticity calculators and a version of Paper, Scissors, Rock for those all-important deal decisions.

The more-advanced business plan aids manage to incorporate real-time stock information, Magic 8-ball for determining one’s future and a competition bugging, allowing you to listen live to your competitor’s boardroom affairs.

Contrary to popular belief, business plan aids were not an offshoot of hearing aids, but were invented by a former MI5 developer who had found work on set for the Bond movie A View To A Kill. The anonymous creator soon left work on the movie when he realised the potential for his invention if applied on Wall Street.

How would a business plan aid an entrepreneur?

Business plan aids essentially work on the premise that they are easy to fit, easy to use and hard to stuff up. All information is provided in audio-format, through the wearer’s ear.

When plan-aiding an entrepreneur, simply select the business plan aid that is right for your budget.

It is important that the entrepreneur you have chosen to represent your company’s new arm is able to talk-the-talk and your new business plan aid is going to get them doing just that!

Try to ask your entrepreneur questions like “Do you need aid-plan logging or will your own memory suffice?”, “Who are the potential competitors for this project and will they be worth listening in to?” and “Do you prefer Paper, Scissors, Rock or Magic-8 for difficult decisions?”.

A look through the features of the business plan aid you are planning to purchase will then help you arrive at the correct model for your needs.

Order, await its arrival, take a quick glance at the instructions and you’re away. You’ll be top of the tree by lunch!

The prime time show ran for a total of seven years, before finally being pulled amidst a high profile court battle with several companies who claimed to have been wronged by Bosh and the show. One CEO was heard outside court at the time saying “Why he [Bosh] couldn’t have just let this show run with only the high-brow entertainment and stayed away from industries and their business, I’ll never know.
