What topics are covered in Bedside Business Plan?

Bedside Business Plan includes 13 sections that help you uncover your personal vision, product or service offering, business identity, target market, competitive landscape, operations, marketing, business model, goals & milestones, and more!

How long does Bedside Business Plan take to finish?

We recommend setting aside 10-15 minutes every evening before bed to respond to 2-3 questions in this journal. Note, it’s equally important not to rush it—don’t attempt to answer all the questions at once! Most people finish in 1 - 2 months.

Is this journal for people who aren't entrepreneurs?

This journal is for anyone with a desire to start something new. It could be a side hustle, selling hand-made products, helping your community, becoming a freelancer, or starting a non-profit. No matter how big or small, your idea is worth pursuing.

Does Bedside Business Plan only focus on business?

Nope! The first section, "Let's start with you" helps you uncover your why, clarify your needs, and place you at the center of the business. You are the the foundation of it. The final section helps you create an action-oriented 30-day plan.

How is this different from other business planning tools?

Unlike confusing business plan templates or expensive business coaches, our journal gives you personal and practical guidance to turn your idea into reality. It's like having a business coach in your pocket guiding you every step of the way.

Good Anecdotal Advice

I have an MBA and ordered this as a gift for a friend who is interested in starting a business.

While the book is light on substance in some areas it succeeds in keeping the reader engaged and the ideas percolating. There are many dry texts on the subject of entrepreneurship. This book is a great companion as it takes a more folksy hands-on approach.

Must Read for Aspiring and Tenured Entrepreneurs

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Bedside Business Plan is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to start a business, especially if you're doing it on the side while managing other commitments. What I loved most about this book is how approachable and practical it is. The step-by-step guidance makes it easy to follow, even if you're completely new to business planning.

The author breaks down complex topics into bite-sized pieces, which helped me feel less overwhelmed. Whether it’s defining your business idea, mapping out your strategy, or understanding finances, this book covers it all with simplicity and clarity. I studied business and have 3 degrees and found it super valuable.

One of the best parts is how adaptable the advice is to different industries. Helps you to create a roadmap for your specific business. I found it particularly helpful for my own business, which involves both products and services. The exercises at the end of each chapter were invaluable in helping me focus and refine my ideas.

If you’re serious about turning your side hustle into a real business, this is the book for you. Highly recommend!

This is the exact book I was looking for to move forward with my business idea. I love the first section that is ‘Let’s Start with You’ it really helps guide you to discover your “why” and what it means to take care of you as the business owner, something that resonates deeply with me. Its clear, simple, and motivating. Thank you!

Perfect Starter Journal for Turning Ideas into Action

This was such a great purchase. I bought it for my husband to support him on his business journey, and it’s been exactly what he needed.

The layout is thoughtful and easy to follow, making it ideal for anyone just starting out or even someone who needs a little structure to get their ideas out of their head and onto paper. It helps guide your thinking without feeling overwhelming or overly complicated.

It’s more than just a journal—it’s a practical tool for organizing goals, clarifying direction, and actually taking steps forward.

If you’re looking for a meaningful, useful gift for someone starting a business (or even for yourself), this is a solid choice. Five stars.

Perfect for giving confidence in starting your business

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Book – Exactly What He Needed!

My husband picked this up and hasn’t put it down since! It’s packed with helpful information and laid out in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re just getting started in the subject.

He said it’s already helped him feel more confident and motivated with his car speaker projects, business ideas / skills / mindset — adjust based on the book). Definitely worth the purchase, and we’d recommend it to anyone looking to level up their skills!

Helps you take action!

I like this journal. I had been thinking about starting my own business for years now, but didn't know where to start. This journal has helped me get my thoughts and ideas organized. I only started the journal a couple of weeks ago, but journaling everyday has helped me kick myself into action and I have started a few product designs.

Great entrepreneur gift

Has a lot of good prompts to get you thinking about your plans and how to make your business succeed. It feels like the mix of idealistic vs practical is definitely there, I just sometimes wish they were slightly more separated. Still this is a great gift for a budding entrepreneur.

Great Gift for Yourself or Students

I have been obsessed with this and plan to buy everyone in my life one. As an entrepreneur, this is perfect for idea journaling and mind mapping! I also think this would be an amazing gift for anyone who has issues with mind clutter, stuck in idea ruts, or students! I carry this around all day and it sits on my bedside at night in case I need to write something down. If you are looking for something to help with that...GET IT NOW! I find this is exactly as described and EXACTLY what I needed.

It's just a business journal

I thought this would be of a book on how to jumpstart a business but it just asks you a bunch questions and you write down your business plans in this journal. It is helpful somewhat as it puts your goals and ideas on paper but it's not exactly what I had hoped for.

It's really awesome.

I can tell when going through this journal that the authors spent a lot of time perfecting the process of building out a business. Once I was through with it, I felt like I know my business more intimately and can easily talk about it now when someone asks me about it. Things I wouldn't think to plan out, like how many products I think I could produce in a month. You take that information and then after a few months you see how many you actually can do, and it really helps. Plus you understand better where your time is going, and how to allocate that precious resources (and where to outsource)!

Great for getting ideas and momentum

I ordered this to help me with my thought process as I work on my business. The prompts are very helpful for generating ideas and getting me to think of things I had not considered... or even to just think of certain things in a different way.

It's very helpful and I would highly recommend especially if you are feeling a little stuck.

Inspiring and Thought-Provoking

I have the goal of starting a couple businesses, but like many entrepreneurs, have fears of failure or not a clear path of what to do or where I am going. After browsing a few pages of this book, I feel that it asks some very good questions that you should think about before and during your business journey.

If you need some guidance then do not hesitate to get this book. Sometimes writing your thoughts and ideas down is all it takes to get that dream of yours going! I will definitely set some time to get my head straight. Also, this definitely makes a great gift for that entrepreneur in your life!

Great for Small Business Owners

This is a wonderful bedside journal for any business owner or anyone wanting to start a business.
I have owned my business for almost 5 years and this was still very helpful in assisting me with redefining my plan and helping me pivot my business.
There is plenty of space to write, and the thought-provoking questions make it very easy to use. I am happy with this journal and will be purchasing more as gifts for some of my small business friends!
