Mastermind Your Business

How a business plan, done properly, can bring you a lifetime of success

This guide is not about how to write a business plan. It is about something much more fundamental and important. It is about how to plan a business. There is a difference.

Jump right in and write a plan NOW: What do you want to accomplish or create?

To win the business race, you must be in from start to finish. Traditional business plans, which are an integral step in planning a business, are only a part of the equation. They focus on financial issues, practical issues that are very important. But because of their detail, they can take us away from the perspective needed to go from start to finish.

What makes some businesses boom and others fade?

You are excited about your new home based business idea, store or service. That is the first, and most important, ingredient. Excitement, passion, a physical sensation of drive to make your business dream come true. If you don't feel that, then I urge you to rethink your business idea.

You can see your dream business rising before you. This is another crucial element. You must have a very clear and specific vision of what your business will be, how it will function on a day to day basis. The more detailed your vision is, the clearer your steps will be to get there. And that gives you the greatest chance of success.

You are open to all the right questions. This element is the fundamental structure of this guide. Questions are what stimulate us to accomplish much more than we ever thought possible. They are also what ground us in reality. Be able to honestly ask yourself challenging questions. Never accept that something is good enough, embrace the questions that challenge your most basic assumptions. Questions are steps on the latter of success. As you answer them, you will find new ideas and improvements appearing almost out of nowhere.

Will your new business succeed?

That depends on your passion, your vision, and your empowering use of questions and answers. Follow this plan to to give you the steps to starting your own business. Knowing what to do and when to do it start you off with a fantastic momentum. It gives you confidence, it gives you solid information. Spending these few hours or days of thought and consulting can guide you to a lifetime of success.
