<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The mind guides our footsteps as we progress along the pathway of life.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Purity of mind leads inevitably to purity of life, to the precious love and understanding that should control our everyday acts and attitudes towards friends and foes.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But where must one look for guidance? How does one achieve purity of mind that alone brings happiness and confidence?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The author offers his clear answers in this book As A Man Thinketh. His words have helped millions for more than a century--and they continue to point the true way to a better life for a troubled humanity.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Out of a clean heart comes a clean life and a clean body," James Allen writes. "out of a defiled mind proceeds a defiled life and a corrupt body."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Too many mortals strive to improve only their wordly position--and too few seek spiritual betterment. Such is the problem James Allen faced in his own time. The ideas he found in his inner-most heart after great searching guided him as they will guide you.</span></div>

How to write a good workable business plan is something every
entrepreneur needs to know. In the current world, businesses need to be
made formal to attract investors and obtain business loans from banks.
Here is a guide to what a business plan is and how to write it.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
Importance of a good business plan</span> <br />
<ol type="1">
<li>A business plan will keep you focused on your project</li>
<li>It is an important instrument in planning future activities</li>
<li>It helps project cash flows into and through the business</li>
<li>It is critical in securing finances from lenders and investors</li>
<li>--Helps you think critically if you're ready for the business<br />
</li>
</ol>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Parts and format of a good business plan</span><br />
<ol type="1">
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Introduction</span><br />
<br />
Provide a high-level review of your business that will help readers and
potential investors understand your business model. Elements include:<br />
<br />
Key employees of your business, such as the CEO, President and Vice President<br />
Mission statement<br />
Details about the products or services your business will provide<br />
Qualities that will make your business a success</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">An executive summary</span><br />
<br />
An executive summary is an introduction to your business. This section
should be clear, concise and to the point. We recommend that you revisit
this section to review your work after completing the other sections of
the business plan to assure consistency and maintain accuracy. The key
elements of an executive summary include descriptions of:<br />
<br />
Your company, Products or services you sell, Your audience and ideal customer, Future of your business and your industry</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Description of the business</span><br />
<br />
Provide a high-level review of your business that will help readers and
potential investors understand your business model. Elements include:<br />
<br />
Key employees of your business, such as the CEO, President and Vice President<br />
Mission statement<br />
Details about the products or services your business will provide<br />
Qualities that will make your business a success</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Market research</span><br />
<br />
Provide detailed information to show that you have a solid understanding
of the industry within which your business will operate. If you have
any further questions it may be useful talking to a mentor who could
offer you specific guidance.<br />
<br />
We recommend including a description of the target customer for your
business, a competitive analysis, and any legal requirements impacting
your company and industry.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Competitor analysis</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sales and marketing plan</span><br />
<br />
Describe how your company will focus on its customers through its
marketing and sales strategies. Then, show how your company will reach
its customers and how it will sell its products. Elements include:<br />
<br />
How your company plans to grow<br />
How your company is going to communicate with customers<br />
How you will advertise your product or service</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Operations plan</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Management structure</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Financial plan and cashflow projections</span><br />
<br />
This section is the most important for investors and lenders because it
shows that your company is built on a solid foundation. It also
illustrates how your business will be able to meet financial
obligations, while maintaining a positive cash flow balance.<br />
<br />
If you do not have any financial information prepared, research industry
statistics to estimate what the profits and costs will be for your
company. If you still need assistance you can contact a local Small
Business Development Center (SBDC) or SCORE, two of SBA's resource
partners, through the SBA.gov Local Assistance tool. They are located
across the country and provide free business counseling and answers.<br />
<br />
This section includes four spreadsheets:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Profit and Loss Projection</span><br />
<br />
Shows your company's ability to generate a net profit, or your bottom line. This is also known as an income statement.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Cash Flow Projection</span><br />
<br />
Displays the operating, investing, and financing activities of your
company by detailing the money coming in to and going out of your
business.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Projected Balance Sheet</span><br />
<br />
Estimates resources your business will need, where they will be needed, and how they will be financed.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Breakeven Analysis</span><br />
<br />
Shows when your business will be able to cover all of its expenses and begin making a profit.<br />

plasma display is a computer video display in which each pixel on the screen is
illuminated by a tiny bit of plasma or charged gas, somewhat like a tiny neon
light. Plasma displays are thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) displays and
brighter than liquid crystal displays ( LCD ). Plasma displays are sometimes
marketed as "thin-panel" displays and can be used to display either
analog video signals or display modes digital computer input.</span></span></span></div>

addition to the advantage of slimness, a plasma display is flat rather than
slightly curved as a CRT display is and therefore free of distortion on the
edges of the screen. Unlike many LCD displays, a plasma display offers a very
wide viewing angle. Plasma displays come in conventional PC displays sizes and
also in sizes up to 60 inches for home theater and high definition television.</span></span></span></div>

built a monochrome plasma display in the 1980s that displayed orange letters
against a black screen. Today's displays contain a grid of cells in which gas
reacts with phosphors in varying degrees in red, green, or blue sub pixels,
making it possible to produce over 16 million different colors.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Higher
education in Uganda is offered at the universities and other tertiary
institutions, which admit those with six years of secondary education. The
universities offer degree and diploma courses, while the tertiary institutions
offer certificate and diploma courses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Higher
education has grown significantly since the early 1990s, with enrolments
increasing by about 90 percent to date. At least there are five public
universities and 17 private universities in the country. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">However,
transition rates are still low. Out of the 12,000 students who qualify for
university education each year, just about 25 per cent of them get admission.
Makerere University, the oldest in East Africa takes the bulk of these, while
the others are absorbed in the other public and private universities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
2001, the government enacted the university and other tertiary institutions Act
which provides the legal basis for the development and management of higher
education. The Act led to the establishment of the National Council for Higher
Education, which is responsible for accreditation of universities, setting
academic standards and maintaining quality assurance for all higher education
institutions in the country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The revival of adult

Apac, Hoima, Kabarole, Mbarara, Mpigi, Mukono, Iganga and Kamuli. The

to the whole country. Evaluations carried out on the programmes show that
it has improved enrolments considerably.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> According to <i>Uganda's
National Adult Literacy Strategic Investment Plan</i>, the country's literacy
rate is 68 per cent - 76 per cent for men and 61 per cent for females.
</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">But the literacy levels vary according to regions, with the urban areas
recording higher rates compared to the rural areas - 87 per cent and 59 per
cent respectively. Some rural areas, especially in the north, have a
literacy rate of 47 per cent compared to the Central region where the average
literacy rate is 77 per cent. In total 5.5 million women and 1.4 million
men are illiterate. Broadly, the functional Adult Literacy programmes is aimed
at equipping the youth and adults, especially women, persons with disabilities
and the elderly, with literacy and numeric skills to enable them to participate
in the economic, socio-cultural and political transformation and modernization
of Uganda, so as to reduce poverty. The overall objective of the
programme is to increase people's access to information and participate in
self, community and national development. Since inception, the programme
has trained 30,000 literacy instructors, purchased and distributed 11,114
bicycles to literacy instructors countrywide and developed instructional
materials. Through FAL, the number of adults enrolled in literacy programmes
has grown considerably to the current 434,664, comprising 108,943 males and
325,721 females. Details of enrolment are contained in Table 18.
Literacy materials have been produced in six languages- Luganda, Luo,
Lunyankole, Lukiga, Lutoro, Ateso and Lukonjo. The literacy materials
include primers, instructors' guides and charts. Some post-literacy programmes
have also been developed to promote continuing education. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

needs education has benefited from the UPE funds. Besides, children with
special learning needs are integrated into normal schools through the policy of
inclusive education. Through the various interventions, the number of
children with special learning needs have increased quite significantly, from
26,429 before UPE to 218,380 in 2004. However, this declined to 182,350
in 2005 with 98,469 boys and 83,881 girls.</span><br />

government has expanded programme for assessing those with learning

<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Secondary
education has registered high enrolment growth rates since the mid-1990s,
following the introduction of UPE, which saw large numbers of children join
primary schools. The number of government-aided secondary schools grew by 20
per cent while the private ones increased by 15 per cent in the past 10 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">According
to the 2005 Annual School Census, there were 697,507 students enrolled in
secondary schools in 2004. The figure was estimated to have risen to more
than 700,000 in 2006. A key development in secondary education is the increased
participation of girls. According to available statistics, girls
constituted 45.5 per cent of students enrolled in secondary schools, while boys
were 55.0 per cent. Some of the reasons for this was affirmative action,
including providing proper sanitation for girls and creating conducive
environment for them in schools. However, secondary education is still marked
by low transition rates. In 2004, for example, only 50 per cent of the
400,000 pupils who completed primary school transited to post-secondary
institutions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another
major development in Uganda's secondary education is the plan by the government
to abolish fees and make it free for all qualified students. The
universal secondary education (USE) is expected to start in January 2007 and
will first benefit those enrolling in Form One and then move gradually until
Form Four. Universal secondary education will put Uganda among the few
countries in Africa to offer a complete free basic education covering 12 years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was the first country in East Africa to introduce UPE in 1997, offering free
schooling for four children in every family. This increased school
enrolment dramatically from less than 3 million in 1997 to 6.8 million in 2003,
rising to about 7.4 million in 2004. The figure has then stabilized at
about 7.2 million in 2005, as the problem of over age learners has been
contained. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

gross enrolment rates have gone down from 132 per cent in 2000 to 118 per cent
in 2005, with 119 per cent and 117 per cent for boys and girls.
Similarly, the net enrolment has improved from 86.5 per cent in 2000 - 99.8 per
cent for boys and 82.3 per cent girls to 93.01 per cent in 2005, comprising
95.6 per cent for boys and 92.4 per cent for girls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

gross enrolment rates have improved from 128 per cent in 2000 to 118 per cent
in 2005, with girls recording the best improvement. The net enrolment
rate has also been steadily raising, from 85.5 per cent in 2000 to 95 per cent
in 2005. The implication of this is that there are more children aged
between, 6-12 enrolled in primary schools. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is a landlocked country located in the eastern part of Africa. It has a
total surface of 241,039 square kilometers. It is bordered to the north
by Sudan, to the east by Kenya, to the south by Tanzania, to southwest by
Rwanda and to the west by the Democratic Republic of Congo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

became in depended in 1962. However, it went through a turbulent
political history for about two decades marked by coups and military
dictatorship that slowed its socio-economic growth. It is not until 1986,
when the National Resistance Movement (NRM) took over power, that the country
started enjoying peace. Since, it has recorded significant growth in
various sectors of the economy. It recorded an economic growth 5.3 per
cent in 2005/6 and this is expected to rise to 5.6 per cent in 2006/7.
Similarly, it recorded an inflation rate of 5.3 per cent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is the mainstay of the economy, accounting for more than 50 per cent of the
GDP. According to the 2002 Housing and Population Census, Uganda has a
population of 24.4 million people. However, recent estimates put the
population at 28 million as of 2006, with 50 per cent being children under 14
years. Literacy rate is 68 per cent, with 76 per cent for males and 61
per cent for females. English is the official language, however, Ganda or
Luganda and Kiswahili are also widely spoken. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The United Republic of
Tanzania comprises Tanganyika, Zanzibar and Pemba. Tanganyika got independence
in 1961 and in 1964 united with Zanzibar and Pemba to form the United Republic
of Tanzania. For many years after independence, Tanzania pursued a socialist
political and economic policy that encouraged state ownership of public
resources. The citizens were made to live in communities where they worked and
collectively produced goods for common use in what was called the Ujamaa
system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But
the socialist policy was later abandoned in the 1980s as it failed to transform
the country's socio economic systems. However, one of the lasting legacies of
the system was that it promoted mass literacy and entrenched the use of
Kiswahili as a national language. Adult literacy rate is 77 per cent with 85.2
per cent for men and 69.2 per cent for women. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">According
to the economic Survey 2006, Tanzania had a population of 37,267,530 in 2005.
Out of this, 19,009,051were females, equivalent to 51 per cent which 18,258,479
were males, or 49 per cent. The bulk of population, more than 35 million
people, lives on the Tanzania Mainland. Further, the statistics show that
majority of the people- 77 per cent live in rural areas and only 23 per cent
live urban areas of the Tanzania Mainland. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
country's economic mainstay is agriculture. Tourism, trade and manufacturing
also play a significant role in the economy. In 2005, the country recorded a
GDP growth of 6.8 per cent compared to 6.7 per cent in 2004. The improved
economic growth rate was mainly attributed to good performance in agriculture,
trade, tourism, and transport and communication.<br />
Tanzania, which is the biggest country in East Africa, has 25 administrative
regions, namely, Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Iringa, Kagera, Kigoma,
Kilimanjaro, Lindi,Mara, Mbeya, Morogoro, Mtwara, Mwanza, Pemba North, Pemba

country has a spectacular landscape of mainly three physiographic regions
namely the Islands and the coastal plains to the east; the inland saucer-shaped
