I'm Kat Ramirez, your host of Stand Out and Grow.

I want to help your business stand out, survive, succeed, and grow.

Building your business is really, really hard.

And knowing what marketing and advertising tools you need to help you become successful

is extremely confusing.

After 30 years of working with thousands of businesses, I am here to help you make

good business decisions.

I want to help you understand the programs that are available to you so that you can stand

out, survive, succeed, and grow.

So let's get started.

Hello, hello, hello.

Here, coming to you live.

I should have sound in my background so every time I come on, it's like, anyways, if you

saw the notes, if you saw the notes, then you saw that I am going to be talking about

business plans, because I had someone ask me about it, and it's probably fitting

too, because I've had several conversations with new entrepreneurs and what have you

who are either starting a new business thinking about it or have already started a business.

And then they come and talk to me, and I'm like, my first question is, I typically ask

a lot of questions, and I always suggest, hey, if you have a business plan, send it over

my way.

And that way, I can understand where you're at, what your model is, and what your expectations

are.
