The Freeman’s Journal is a tool that allows you to quickly capture, organize, and catalog your business ideas in one place. It also serves as an ideal development tool that walks you through the creation of a basic business plan using terminology that most people can understand The journal is formatted in a way that encourages you to fully get your ideas down on paper in a way that you can understand and forces you to think hard about your ideas in a business-minded manner It asks a series of questions that follow the formula of “why”, “how”, and “why you” that, if you answer fully, will render a basic business plan, and automatically give you a leg up into making your business dreams a viable reality
