A friendly place for friends who drink

Can I ask a question? (I guess I just did). Who is this business plan targeted at?

I only ask because I have seen a lot of people spend ridiculous amounts of time on business plans that nobody even looks at. Has some target audience stated that they require an in depth business plan (private equity investors, etc.)?

Freaking banks man.

They really don't care whats in the plan, but it is a measure of willingness to see something through and an exercise in critical thought about the future of the business.

The plans suck, even for the seemingly fun industries.

That is funny. I've honestly sat in countless meetings with bankers who were handed business plans and immediately put them into their bags and clearly never looked at them again. Most deals I work on have one to two page projections with narratives, but no real business plan.

EDIT: remind me, are you one of the many bean counters in the forum?

Looking at some more houses today before my son's 1st birthday party.

Man I love coffee, woke up a little hungover. Coffee is working magic.

Congrats on the upgrade, that's great. Kegging is so nice.




Lol

I'm no bottler-hater, but yeah legging is so nice. In fact, I'm thinking of going for some "experimenting" on the next few batches of going to keg first, then bottling from there (I've only got two kegs). It won't take away from the tediousness, but that's not the part I dislike the most - which is that I can't travel with the hb and drink them that night without the cloudiness. I'm one of those weird ones that enjoys the super clear beers.

Morning all.

I want to lob some eggs into the backyard for the kids to have "The worlds most difficult Easter Egg Hunt" tomorrow, but SWMBO said no.

I may do it anyway.

 

[Gavin C]

There. That's better.

Now small children will no longer flee in terror.

This might help too

Depends on your bank I suppose. I doubt anyone actually reads the entire thing.

Just the executive summary and looks to make sure numbers match up in the financial projections.

I am not a bean counter by day. But by night...still not a bean counter.

Although I did take a bunch of accounting and finance classes. Coming in handy right now with my Excel skills.

I could probably get a loan based on my qualifications and killer spreadsheets but I'd rather be prepared for anything the first time around.

Home roast/Aldi breakfast roast blend. Best cheap coffee evar.

Egg Hunt and dinner at the in law's later. Nothing much until then. Should have brewed today.

 

[banesong]

I'm alive. Hope I'm not coming down with something. 2nd night in a row of passing out on the couch after 2 beers.

Yeah.... 2 750s of 12%+ beers?

Nephew is sick, so all plans uncertain for the day. Was going to help the BIL move boxes in his garage - funny enough, new house + newborn = not enough time to unpack.

Maybe a trip to Ranger Creek for a tasting instead? Paging hunter_la5

Yeah I seem to remember this guy encouraging me to go for the bourbon and scotch, then disappearing.

Got a great nights sleep though. Feeling great this morning.

I'm much more Randall than Dante. But I laughed.

Drinking some coffee and finishing round #1 of dishes. Debating what to do with the kids today. A little chilly out but nice and sunny.

Hi.

Yeah, I didn't want to get a mod after us by posting Randall's quote about the job being great except for the F'ing customers.

just shoveled 3-4" of snow. A shot of this in my coffee should warm me back up.

Lunch bier. Or pre-lunch bier, as it were.

Happy son's 1st! Mine turned 1 on Thursday - had a mini celebration, but we are having a real party today - and cousin's 18th same day.

I feel like we may have had a similar discussion on our son's close bday's 1 year ago. Party on!

Haha! Epic Easter egg hunt!

 

[drainbamage]

Lunchbier. Miami Pale Ale. I think with about 1/2 the Crystal malt, this could be a great beer.

We got just a dusting of snow up here, but it's a bit icy.

Speaking of the easter egg hunt - I found a damn pigeon egg in our gutter downspout a couple weeks ago.

 

[joshesmusica]

After coming in on the condition I'm in, and even two ladies commenting about how bad I sounded, one of those ladies, who didn't sound or look sick whatsoever, decided she needed to go home, and even called in sick in the morning. Someone will take her place tomorrow, but today we are left with her patient and trying to make that work. What a bytch.

 

[smurfjuice]

Just finished cleaning up after brew day yesterday, having a hb brown fer me efforts ...

 

[1977Brewer]

Couldn't brew today, so I'm roasting a ton of coffee.

 

[mattmmille]

Slept late. Boiled eggs last night and kids are dying them at Grandma's house. I'll go over in a few...they should be done. Found a couple of root beers in the drink fridge from 2/11/15...good stuff!

 

[mattmmille]

Root beer photo resized so it would load. *sigh*

Funky Buddha flight: Belgian saison, carrot cake wheat ale, lychee Berliner weisse, and Nikolai Vorlauf RIS.
