The Importance Of A Business Plan

Episode 04

About The Show

Today we discuss the importance of a business plan in your business. In particular not only the importance of a business plan but the importance of the business planning process behind the plan.

The actual process of sitting down and doing a business plan, to me is probably one of the most effective functions of the business planning process.

Traditional business plans can be big thick heavy documents that once completed sit on the shelf and gather dust, never to be looked at again and can be a complete waste of time.

Done correctly though a business plan should be a living dynamic document. This is because the environment that most businesses operate in is also dynamic and ever-changing.

It is critical to your business success that your business plan is adaptable to those dynamic, changing business conditions and lights the way to help you navigate predictable success.

FRUSTRATED WITH WORDPRESS?

I WAS TOO.

I'll be honest with you the thought of going into Word Press used to frighten me.

Not only did I find it confusing and difficult to understand, but the time it would take to get things how I wanted, coupled with the thought of breaking something was all too much.

I discovered Elementor, which is essentially a drag and drop page builder for Word Press and it's been a game changer for me.

It's how I have built this site and in fact this very post you are reading now.
