Every entrepreneur or small business owner knows he/she needs a business plan, but it’s no one’s favorite part of finally pursuing your dream. As a result, most small business owners never get around to putting together a plan, and a year later their visions and their businesses have stalled. Four out of five small businesses will fail, but you improve your chances of being the one that succeeds when you take the time to develop and create an effective business plan
But where do you start? There are countless blog posts and articles on the web about how to create a business plan. There are even some that say you shouldn’t create a business plan. How do you know which strategy to trust?
Trust the people who have built successful small businesses.
