If you're planning on starting a new business or expanding your current business, whether you're thinking big business or solo professional, you need a business plan. There's a book that's getting a lot of buzz even though it was published in 2003.
I haven't read it yet, but Ed Rogoff's book Bankable Business Plans professes to be
"the only book on the market that demonstrates how to make each business plan uniquely suited to every endeavor. It is also the only book which explains how to employ the guidelines that banks, venture capital firms and the Small Business Administration use to grant loans and other financial support to businesses."
Another option is a class that's starting next week through TeleDevelop.com.
