Have A Plan But Plan To Adapt
Building a business plan can seem like a very overwhelming process. It doesn't have to be that way because in reality a business plan is just a direction you are looking to move in. You set your goals in a desired timeline and then you're off. It is good to add detail to the plans that take you to towards that goal, but rarely , if ever, does the business plan you write actually go in the sequential order you wanted it to. The plan is to reach the goal. That is the one thing you do give up on. The actions and decisions made along the way are all in an effort to reach that goal. There are things in business plan that no matter how hard you plan, you can't foresee will happen int he future. You will want to create a plan, but make sure the goal is very clear and don't worry about the small steps along the way. You will have to adapt to the real world changes that are out of your control and the decisions made at those moments will be what takes you closer to your goal or further away.
