This book is the first of its kind "how to" guide for earning thousands of dollars on weekends by renting out your rural property or farm for weddings. If you already own a beautiful piece of property that you are maintaining and are looking for a great opportunity to take it and turn it into a revenue-generating business, this book will show you how. In 2015, the average rental cost of a wedding venue was between $1,650-$2,336 per event. If you have a luxury or premier venue, you can rent your place for $5,000 to $10,000 per event! Book an event on Saturday and Sunday, and you could be earning, on average, $4,000 per weekend! Outdoor locations and non-church spaces are hugely popular for wedding and event locations. And many couples want to have the wedding and reception at the same location. So if you are already paying a mortgage or doing routine maintenance on a large rural property that can accommodate 100-300 people, why not convert those expenses to tax-deductions?

This business book is different. Unlike every other book you'll read with titles like "How To Craft The Perfect Business Plan in 89 Incredibly Simple Steps", this book is different. It's a simple "How To" guide for creating a Business Plan that's right for you and your business and also an easy to follow workbook. The workbook will guide you through the process you need to follow. It tells you the questions that you need to consider, the numbers you need (and how to get them), and supporting documents you need to gather. The main purpose of a business plan is to aid YOU in running YOUR business. So the workbook has been designed for you to write the information in and refer back to as needed. If you need to supply your Business Plan to another party, such as a bank if you're looking for finance, then it's simple to type up the various sections for a professional document. Running your own business is both a challenging and daunting prospect. With a well-thought-out business plan in place (anticipating the challenges you'll face AND the solutions) it will be much less daunting and much more exciting. Good luck! Molly
