Entrepreneur.com Releases Entrepreneur Assist

I just signed up for Entrepreneur’s new tool, Entrepreneur Assist. Some of the features are pretty cool, actually. There is a “Documents” section that allows you to create slide presentations, notes, and tags. You can also create standard documents and spreadsheets. Think of Google Documents and that pretty much sums up their Document functionality. I think that the interface is actually cleaner that Google Docs. Their document software is provided by ZOHO.

There’s a bookmarking feature that allows you to save your favorite sites. This is a neat feature, especially for someone looking to specifically store entrepreneurship-related sites. I like netvibes bookmarking tool for this, but this works just as well.

The Forms and Templates area of the service is definitely the gold mine. This section allows you to add templates to your account and modify them to suit your needs. Business plans, marketing plan, customer satisfaction forms, etc., they have what you need. I think that this is extremely useful for young entrepreneurs. Being able to study a mock business plan or proposal is priceless. These forms and plans make for an excellent examples and, depending on the complexity of your business, it’ll be better than starting from scratch. There are hundreds of templates available.

Oh, and let’s not forget the library section. They are currently offering 11 business books that you can download (PDF) and read for free. They are: Project Management made Easy, 202 Ways to Supplement Your Retirement Income, Smart Negotiating, Advertising Without an Agency Made Easy, Six Sigma for Small Business, Mad Scam, Online Shopper’s Survival Guide, Millionaire Homeowner, This is Not Your, Parents’ Retirement, Niche and Get Rich, and The Entrepreneur Diet.

Overall, I think that this is a powerful tool for entrepreneurs to use. Sure, most of the features area already being offered by other services, but now you can have them all in one place and keep your entrepreneurial information stored with one site. Some of the links are still a bit buggy, but I’m sure that they’re being worked out. If anything, just signup for access to the free books.
