So daunting it likely brings up memories of working on a big final project in college, with your word processor open and too many distractions. Well, UpStart Bootcamp Founder David Ronick is kicking off a three-part series over on Inc.com how to make pounding out a business plan much less painless, and the first entry debuted Tuesday.

In six bullet points, Ronick gives clear-cut advice on six different topics like addressing unmet needs.
