EDIT your Business Plan

At this point, you should have done the research, and tested your idea, concept, or product. If you received some sales that would be great; along with attending if not exhibitting at some tradeshows. Once you complete all of this, pull out your business plan & re-read it. Use it as your benchmark to assess what you have achieved versus what you said or thought you would achieve. Don't be surprised if these are 2 really different pictures.

Your business plan should be visited annually for the simple fact to keep your goals in mind and a process to accomplish these goals. Don't be afraid to change these goals and processes. That is learning. That is development. That is growth. THAT IS SUCCESS. That's all I have to say on this topic.

To test my own philosophy & processes I have outlined for you, I am going to implement this advise into another business plan. "What's your breed?"; its the hot, new dog-park pickup line. I intend to post all of the ups & downs for you here too. So keep in touch!
