This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for the old kick in the pants to just get it done and that a plan is needed. I struggle with starting it because I have never seen a business plan before and being a perfectionist well I would hate for it to not be right..

Kanody - Remember that your plan is your map or blueprint. Some people can do just fine with directions scribbled on a scrap of paper, while others need a well-drawn map. Your plan tells you what you should be working on to get from A to B. When you write it up, you're just giving it due respect; taking the time to think of all the angles so you don't go off half-cocked. Having a plan is being a little bit smart about what's unavoidably the luck of the draw. If you have a map, that obstacle in the road can be circumvented. If you don't have a map, obstacles can seem insurmountable.

Overall, your plan is never 'right.' It's constantly in flux.

Thanks Virtual Writing I will keep that in mind I am setting a goal to get my business plan done and to not start the business without it...

Mary ~ great article.

Kanody ~ you can do an Internet search for sample business plans just to see what one looks like.

Thanks Mobilegirl I will look into that.

Mary:

Thanks so much for this article! I'm (selfishly) glad you were procrastinating on your blog!
