If you've noticed this in your RSS feed I apologise for the Helpful Tools for Writing a Business PlanI suppose as I'm a business coach it's inevitable that, from time to time, someone asks me can I help them with developing a business know the theory of business plans and have done or helped with more than one or two in my time, so I don't have a problem with outlining what I think should be in such a plan. However, from studying various models for business plans, I'm aware that there are different approaches. I've noticed also that some models seem designed to be overwhelming for the average small business the past I've gone out and bought books on writing business plans and wondered why they did not seem to help me very much. My hunch is that I wanted a quick, fill-in-the-boxes solution. I no longer think that's possible. people outsource the process and get someone else to do a business plan for them. That could be a good approach and is probably better than nothing, but even there it is crucial that the business owner is an active participant in the planning process and is able to really sign on to the plan as eventually presented by the external firm or because, even though some businesses are similar and there are some general principles that can be applied to the business planning process, each of us comes to a business, or find ourselves running one, with different skillsets and training, different hopes and expectations and in a variety of external circumstances. One kind of business plan will not fit all even (especially?) if planning does not come naturally to it and we just want to "get on with the job", some quality time spent planning can save a lot of confusion and heartache down the business planning#tracking |
