Entrepreneurism, Start-Ups and the Business Plan

Entrepreneurs and start-ups can get into difficulty because of lack of definition. It is easy to believe in yourself and your ideas. To an entrepreneur, it appears easy just to pick up their ideas and run with them all the way to success. It is much more difficult to shape these ideas into a strong strategic business plan that defines the scope and direction of your business. Yet without a solid business plan, for all but the chosen few, you have little opportunity for success.

A solid business plan allows you to accomplish a number of key events in the early growth of your business by:

· Defining the strategy and direction of your company.

· Providing key check points and milestones to measure progress, financially and strategically.

· Keeping both the entrepreneur and the company focused. It is easy to be distracted from the original core objectives of the company. To quote the old adage, “It is difficult to remember that the objective was to drain the swamp when alligators are biting your butt.” A good business plan helps you keep focused on draining the swamp.

· Defining the downside risks, spotting them and taking correctives actions before they become catastrophic.

· Allowing for outside input into the realistic potentials of your business. And realistic actions plans to deal with the difficult issues.

· Providing a footing for seeking outside investors
