Lack of information and lack of planning leads to early failures. Not putting yourself in a position to succeed by not being ready is bad!

I have used business plan pro many times before. The problem most people make with their plans is that they don’t make them their own by actually researching their own industry. They use the given templates and fill in basic info, and wonder why they fail in the end.

Thanks for the mention on the One Page Business Plan(r). I took a class back in 1999 given by the author, and started using it right away. Then a few years later, I was certified to teach and use the process with my clients. It’s the only plan they’re willing to do!

This is pretty much how my business plan is. It’s very simple and only takes up about a half a page of paper.

I remember when we wrote our business plan. It seemed at first to be such a daunting task. The way that we did it was broke it down into small effective steps that we could easily take to improve our business.

I really like your idea of a one page business plan that you could easily use a a quick guide to stay on target.

The guidance and advice here it top notch. It is more than just the ideas but getting them on paper is a matter where you can move forward. A business plan needs to more you to action rather than paralysis.

This is so true. Securing financing is one of the main reasons to go all out with your business plan, but I like that you still recommend going through the motions by completing the most pertinent parts. There is value in writing a business plan, even for small and home businesses because it forces you to think. :) Great post!

Paralysis of the analysis is always a problem but being efficient and following the basic guidelines is a good starting point for a business plan to guide you and to give you ideas. The objectives may not remain the same but it is a decent guidance.

The one page business plan is a great idea. I know a professor who has his students start with even a smaller business plan. He gives each student one of his business cards and then instructs them to write their business plan on the back. Although he realizes that a larger plan is also useful, he tells the students that if they can’t explain the basic concept in the space of a business card, then either the idea is not clearly understood or it is simply a bad idea.

I think the idea is applicable to bloggers like me as well. Have a not too plan ready so that you can just sit down and execute it. No need to think about next step everytime yo settle down to work.

I know exactly what you’re saying and I totally agree. If someone is seriously considering getting into a business than the business plan may be the most important thing ever in jump-starting that idea which is why it is important to have a good business plan. I would definitely consider buying those programs offered above to help me create a formal business plan that will allow me to capture every aspect necessary in order to consider starting up a business.

I like this idea. I’ve been working on my business plan, but for some reason can never complete the entire document. The one page business plan sounds like a much better way to collect my ideas in a short outline. Just as you mentioned since I don’t require financing I probably don’t need a formal business plan. Even if I decide to put together a formal business plan my one page plan will serve as a good outline.

This is a great idea. Most non-funded startups really only need to know the scope, target market, and short term goals to get things moving. And getting things moving is the most important part of a startup!
