Planning
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.- Thomas A. Edison
When we think of business planning, it is common for a small business owner to think about a document which helps them to obtain capital. In fact, we find that 95% of business owners don’t even know where their original business plan is and are unable to articulate the goals of the plan. Instead of the plan controlling the business, the entrepreneur is controlling the business.
Your business plan is your official or formal statement of your ongoing business goals. It represents what is believed attainable and how the implemented plan results in reaching those defined goals.
There are many components to a successful business plan. The most important aspect of the plan is that it must be a living/breathing document. It must change with the ebon flow of the business and be available to key players on a daily basis.
