I'll admit I was a little skeptical when I ran across a free online course from Trump University on "How to Write a Business Plan". Not that I am opposed to "The Donald", but I wasn't sure how good the content Mr. Trump would be giving away for free, or how many advertisements the course would be laden with in order to keep it free..we'll I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the content good, but nothing struck me as overly self serving to get me to buy products to fatten Trumps already bulging wallet.
