Question Re: Master list: getting started - what to do?

Finally! I've been looking for this post all morning! I thought there was another but I can't seem to find it. My question is about a business plan. Now that I've spilled the beans to my husband he wants me to write one. I've seen a typical business plan and I'm not interested! (Pages and pages with graphs and charts and numbers - the type you would put together for a loan to start a new business.) I don't want a loan, thank goodness!

Can somebody give me some ideas to get going? I would assume that "our type" of business plan has to be just as unique as our industry. I would like to hear from some of you who have employee J O B S because that changes everything. How long are you planning to do both? Are you going to wait until your income reaches a certain level or you sign a certain number of clients or you have $X in savings to switch to full time VA? At what rate do VAs add clients when the first get started? I'm sure you veterans have things coming to mind I haven't even thought of yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Although I can see my husband swaying I have yet to yell *TIMMMMBERRR* and we haven't shaken on it yet!

Make it a great day!

Sundi
