Driving somewhere new? Google Maps.  Too many things to do?  To do list.  Owning a business is driving somewhere new with too many things to do.  That’s why every business needs a road map with a list of things to do along the way.

A business plan is an important tool to help guide your decisions and will shape your list of jobs.  It acts as a management tool that can be referred to regularly to help remind you where you want to go and how you should get there.  Just as life changes so does a business plan and it is OK if sometimes you don’t meet the goals.  What is important is that the business plan is revisited and reshaped regularly.
