Strategic Business Plan

[Ben Roberts]

I've been doing wholesale deals in Memphis for about 5 years now and it's time to move out of a hobby and in to a real business.  I've put together deals with both local and out of state buyers and sellers.  I've used direct mail, yellow letters, postcards, cold calling, PPC, websites, and facebook ads to successfully generate leads; done leg work, repair estimates, and even some marketing for out of town investors; even built some software to scrape data.  In my day job I'm a project manager and data analyst advising non-profits in process improvement, marketing, budgeting, and business basics.  How do I go about developing a business plan, marketing plan, or strategic plan? Something actionable that I can execute rather than doing things sort of ad-hoc?  I have a little bit of a budget to get me started I just need help coming up with the initial plan.  Does anyone have any advice?
