PHOENIX, AZ, April 12, 2006: Noted contracting industry consultant Al Levi's Appleseed Business, Inc. has released a group of new business improvement tools for use by contracting business owners. Called Power!Plans, each of the four comprehensive sets addresses a critical area of the contracting business and provides the information, systems and forms which an owner can use to master the challenges of that particular aspect of his/her business.

The Leadership Power!Plan provides help with the demanding issues of ownership and management; Operating Power! deals with improving the day-to-day operations of a contracting business; Staffing Power! teaches owners how to turn personnel problems into opportunities; and the Sales Power!Plan helps make techs, and everyone in the business, positive contributors to the top line. Each Power!Plan consists of a CD audio intro by Levi, an extensive workbook, divided into easy-to-understand chapters, and a CD with Microsoft Word-templates for the various forms and documents needed to support implementation of the suggested management techniques and systems.

"My trade magazine articles, my appearances and seminars at industry events and my one-on-one, in-shop consultations have allowed me to reach only a small percentage of the great number of contractors who really need help in making their businesses less stressful and more successful," Levi said. "Now, in effect, any contractor can have Al Levi in a box, ready to take off the shelf and use at his own pace to make substantive improvements in his business operations and personal satisfaction."

The four Power!Plans are available for immediate shipment, either individually, at $395 each, or as a complete set for $1185. To order, to read comments from Power!Plan users, or to find out more about Al Levi's Power!Plans, visit www.appleseedbusiness.com.
