An Excel workbook which will enable you to track every dime you spend. Monthly expenses are totaled by category and summarized in a summary sheet and graph. Embedded comments will assist in getting started. You can customize the categories to suit your needs and lifestyle.

  2009 Expense Tracking
» 4.4 MiB - 90 hits - September 12, 2008
Essentially the same as the other file; I've cleaned up some minor formatting issues. Either will work just fine for you. The key is to write everything down... to facilitate that I usually print out each month in 7-10 day segments and leave it on the desk in our kitchen. Do this for a few months - or better yet, 6 or 12 months - and you'll have a very precise record of where your money goes, and where you have additional opportunities for saving.

  Pear Budget zip file
» 178.4 KiB - 120 hits - August 29, 2008
The original Pear Budget. From the authors: When PearBudget started out, it was simply a downloadable spreadsheet. It was easy to use, and it helped a lot of people get their finances in order. We created it because we needed something simple to track our income and expenses. So we made it, and we put it online, for free. People loved it. * It’s been downloaded well over 100,000 times. * It was written up in the Wall Street Journal, in Popular Science, and in the extremely popular blogs Zen Habits, Lifehacker, and Get Rich Slowly, among others. * We received notes and e-mails from all over the world from people who — for the very first time in their lives — were able to understand what was happening with their budgets. When we launched the new, web-based version of PearBudget, we knew some people would prefer the old version. It’s still a really great tool, and it might be just what you need to start budgeting. This is a wonderful budget tool. Read a review here: http://url.ie/nk0

Marketing & Business

  New Business Screener
» 21.0 KiB - 68 hits - September 12, 2008
A simple, customizable template for measuring and evaluating the potential value & attractiveness of new product lines or new businesses. 14 separate criteria are used to measure different opportunities in order to identify the most attractive. You can adjust the criteria and if necessary, weight them differently. I've found it's best to have key personnel perform the weighting exercise separately and then compare notes.

  One Page External & Internal Analyses - Strategic Planning
» 50.5 KiB - 3 hits - January 4, 2009
If you are interested in communicating your organization's strategic plan as concisely as possible, this file could help you a great deal. Take the essential elements and issues from your External and Internal Analyses and capture them in one page each. The most critical information - the essential "things" you want the members of your organization to take away from your analyses - is highlighted in the center of each page. I've used a similar document, by the way, for summarizing an organization's ENTIRE Strategic Plan; let me know if you are interested in seeing it. As always, if this file is helpful to you, please let me know by commenting.
