Business Plan

Before you jump into any business it is crucial that you have a plan in place. The key is to set you goals and then set realisitic time expectations to complete or achieve your goals. No one business is going to explode over night. It takes time, dedication, and a ton of other components that we will be discussing over time. One key element is the why factor. You must have a strong reason behind the business you are choosing to build or you will not be disciplined enough to stay on task. Write it down separate from your business plan. This is a start.

We buy product after product and answer ad after ad. All to no avail! Why? Could it be the product? Could it be our lack of knowledge of the product? More importantly could it be us? Often times our pains are strummed by the everyday stresses and pressures of life. Our minds become clouded and our visions distorted. Our decisions become haste and without thought. Let me ask this question. How often do we make business venture decisions that are in alliance with our goals, our mission, our vision, our dream? Maybe the question is...Have we taken the time to write down or even visualize our dreams? HMMMM something to think about. .......to be continued....
