- <p>Really looking forward to this course with great anticipation to learn how to put a comprehensive business plan together for a full-time & part-time wedding & portrait photography business, what are the important steps involve to create a business plan and what all should be included in such plan, when or if you should amend your business plan, should you have two business plans (a simple plan & a very detail plan).</p>
- This course was great. I'm at the very beginning stages of creating my business, and this course really helped me to think through everything I need to plan for.
