Entrepreneurship - Lesson


Development of a Business Plan

Every business owner needs a way to organize and present information about how he or she intends to develop, grow, and manage his or her business. A business plan is the perfect tool. When well-crafted, a plan will catch the attention of potential investors and customers while encouraging them to support the business. When seen this way, a business plan becomes the foundation for any successful business.
Why Write a Business Plan?
  1. The process of putting a business plan together forces the person preparing the plan to look at the business in an objective and critical manner.
  2. It helps to focus ideas and serves as a feasibility study of the business's chances for success and growth.
  3. The finished report serves as an operational tool to define the company's present status and future possibilities.
  4. It can help you manage the business and prepare you for success.
  5. It is a strong communication tool for your business. It defines your purpose, your competition, your management and personnel. The process of constructing a business plan can be a strong reality check. 
  6. The finished business plan provides the basis for your financing proposal.
Business Idea
      The Business Idea section sells the business’s vision and briefly outlines how that vision will be accomplished.
      A basic idea can be expanded into a plan by including three key elements:
Business Summary – A simple description of the business, the need for its product or service, its intended audience, and its competitive advantage.
Keys to Success – A series of short statements that describe the value the business promises to deliver to its potential customers.
Management and Staff Summary – Short statements that draw attention to the personal strengths of the people who will be part of running the business.


Market Analysis
      Before taking on the risks of a business, it is important for business owners to know general market conditions, where the new business will fit inside a particular industry, who their customers will be, and who will be the competition.


Marketing Strategy
      Analyze your competitors' marketing strategies to learn how they reach the market. If their strategy is working, consider adopting a similar plan. If there is room for improvement -- work on creating an innovative plan that will position your product or service in the minds of your potential customers.
      A good strategy should include these four P’s:
What specific Product or service does the business offer?
What Pricing structure will be used?
Where your business will be located (Place)?
What will be done to Promote the business?
       The most effective marketing strategies typically integrate multiple mediums or promotional strategies to reach the market. The following are some promotional options to consider.
      TV, Radio, Print, Direct mail, Public relations, One-on-one sales


Financial Analysis
If a business is selling a lot of product but still losing money in the long run, the business will fail. Based on the previous information collected, the business owner can provide a fairly accurate estimate of the business’s costs and what will affect them.
      Start-Up Costs – All businesses need some starting capital (money invested in the business) to deal with initial costs. These are the items that are one-time purchases.
      Monthly Expenses – These are the ongoing costs like inventory, utilities, and insurance. Also included in this section is a breakeven point analysis (what the business needs to make to cover costs and show a profit).
      Financing Options – These are the possible sources for the capital to start a business.
      Sales Forecasts – This is an estimate on how much product the business will need to sell to cover expenses, and what can reasonably be sold based on the market research conducted earlier.

VORTEX THEORY
In Cartesian cosmology, a vortex is a large circling band containing these planets or comets and other material particles. Our solar system and the entire universe consist of a network of interlocking vortices, which are subject to gravitational and centrifugal powers.
RenĂ© Descartes devised a Theory of Vortices which postulated that the space was entirely filled with matter in various states, whirling about the sun.
Descartes attempted to figure out the enigma of gravity and the necessity of a medium in space for any function to happen with the "Vortex" Theory of colliding particles which hypothesized that the collisions supply the force that pushed the planets towards the Sun.
Bodies once in motion, remain in motion in a straight line unless and until they are deflected from this line by the impact of another body. All changes of motion are the result of such impacts.
He assumed that the universe is filled with matter which, due to some initial motion, has settled down into a system of vortices which carry the sun, the stars, the planets and comets in their paths.
Planets move around the Sun because they are swept around by whirlpools of a subtle matter filling all space.
Matter and motion were used by Descartes to explain every natural process by means of mechanical models. They provided merely the "most likely models" which seemed quite plausible if you try to apply basic laws of nature.
The vortex theory likewise provided a built-in explanation for the common direction of all planetary orbits. Additionally, the vortex theory allowed Descartes to endorse a form of Copernicanism heliocentrism (sun-centered world) without running afoul of Church censorship.
Descartes believed that God created the universe as a perfect clockwork mechanism of vortical motion that functioned deterministically thereafter without intervention.
In the long run, however, Descartes’ vortex theory failed because neither Descartes nor his followers ever developed a systematic mathematical treatment of the vortex theory that could match the accuracy and predictive scope of the (continuously improving) Newtonian theory;
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every mass attracts every other mass in the universe, and the gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Despite the problems with the vortex theory it was championed in France for nearly one hundred years even after Newton showed it was impossible as a dynamical system.

Types of Rocks
Igneous Rocks
-Ignis – “fire”
-Formed by volcanic activity

Types of Igneous Rocks
Extrusive Igneous Rocks or Volcanic -Solidifies at the surface
Intrusive Igneous Rocks or plutonic -Formed at depth

Characterized by:
Texture -size, shape and arrangement of interlocking crystals
Rate of cooling strongly influences crystal size. Slow cooling leads to formation of large crystals while rapid cooling results in smaller crystals:
Coarse-grained       Can be seen w/ bare eyes
Medium-grained    Can only be seen with hand lens
Fine-grained           Can only be seen through the microscope
Mineral composition -based of the chemical makeup of the parent magma

Sedimentary Rocks
Sediments result from uplifting and weathering, which are then transported and deposited into different areas.
Lithification -the process which the sediments are trans-formed into solid sedimentary rock
Compaction- as piles of sediments accumulate, the materials below are compacted by the weight of the overlying layers, as grains are pressed, pore space is greatly minimized, reducing the volume
Cementation-cement particles settle into sediment grains, fills the open spaces and then binds the particles together

As layer upon layer of sediments are accumulated, they carry with them the records of the nature of the environment as the time the sediments are deposited. These layers are called Strata. Fossils are only found in sedimentary rocks

Types of Sedimentary Rocks
Detrimental Sedimentary Rocks -these rocks came from weathered rocks such as igneous rocks
Chemical Sedimentary Rocks -these rocks came from soluble materials produced largely by chemical weathering

Metamorphic Rocks
-came from preexisting rocks called parent rocks
The preexisting rocks may undergo changes in the mineralogy, texture (grain size) & chemical composition.
Metamorphism -process of the transformation of the parent rocks
Agents of Metamorphism
Heat -heat causes chemical reactions that result in recrystallization of existing minerals &/or formation of new mineral
Pressure or stress-pressure causes space between mineral grains in the buried rocks to close, producing a more compact rock w/ higher density
Chemical agents -they act as catalyst to promote crystallization by enhancing ion migrations that may change the composition of the rock
