Attention #smallbusiness owners!

Our experience suggests there are 22 Frequently Asked Questions about effective #businessplanning. FAQ #1 What is a business plan?: A business plan definition for many is a document that describes the journey to success; where you are going, how you will get there, how you will know when you are there and the targeted work needed to push you there. Wikipedia defines a business plan as “a formal statement of business goals, reasons they are attainable, and plans for reaching them. We like Peter J. Patsula definition of a business plan “A plan…provides an essential focus – a beacon of light in an ocean full of treachery…your own personal prescription for greatness.”

At FOCUS31 we believe a business plan is IRRELEVANT!

WAIT, don’t turn away just yet. .

A single business plan is a useless task, if it is not EASY, FAST, SUSTAINABLE and therefore, entirely PRACTICAL for business owners to engage in. Most importantly it must be implemented, measured against, reviewed/updated and implemented and measured again and again and again. To do otherwise ensures it will sit on your computer or printed and in your credenza collecting dust accomplishing nothing for your business. In effect a single business plan is pointless.The GOAL is to create a business system or culture of business planning
