Don't Forget!

As an entrepenuer we often start our busnisses with our hopes and dreams at the forefront of our goals.

We plan to do great things, and become famous and successful and RICH!
Then reality sets in and we have to figure out how to actually get to successful and rich. That's when we realize we need a plan. Business plans are designed for you to be able to determine your goals, what your strengths are and even.....your weaknesses. 

A business plan is a growth tool.  

Just as it is essential to be honest with your clients and customers it is even more important to be honest with yourself. When you're presenting yourself to potential investors or in a grant proposal and you're dishonest you leave open the possibility of the under believing that what they're offering isn't even needed. It makes you seem as if you have no shortcomings and areas that need improvement. 

And, we ALL do. 

By being honest in your business plan, you can find the areas that need to be focused on as well as the areas that could see the most growth if they became a focus. 
Your business plan is the goal setting tool for your company with the second highest impact on your success. 

You can't plan to succeed, if you never plan.
