Field Guide To Business Plans For A Small Business

Apr 30 2019

A lot of people have been following up on my last few blog posts and after reading my free eBook have been asking about how to write their own business plan.

I’m really pleased about that because one of my missions in my professional life is to make sure that as many small business owners as possible awake to the necessity and indeed, benefits of having their own implementable business plan.

You see, my SMART Business Planning method was designed especially for small businesses.

In business, either you engage in marketing or your business dies.

Marketing isn’t just running a few ads or waiting for referrals. Proper, focused marketing grows sales.

How To Write A Business Plan In 5 Easy Steps

Apr 16 2019

Let’s get this out up front – if you are a small business owner, especially one who has just started or owns a relatively new small business, and you don’t have a business plan, you must love living in chaos!

Running your small business without a business plan is like deciding to go on a holiday and just jumping on the first ‘plane you see at the airport without the right clothes or the right currency and just hoping that you have a good time.

If you want to create the business of your dreams, if you want to avoid the day to day chaos, if you want to stop the frustration of working hard with no real achievement, then you need a business plan, and when you see how easy it is for you to write one yourself, you will be able to move your business step-by-step along one cohesive direction toward your ultimate goal.

The Value Of Having A Marketing Plan

Apr 09 2019

I have designed an online training course – in the form of a real-time workshop – about how to prepare a Marketing Plan for your business.

I created that course because I’m really passionate about showing small business owners how easy it is to professionally market your business in accordance with an actionable plan that they can write themselves.

In my 35 plus years of experience working with small businesses, I have found that less than 10% have a Marketing Plan. Yet, of those that do, well over 75% have met their marketing objectives and growth targets.

If you don’t have a marketing plan, I know what’s stopping you.

Business Plans Help You Succeed

Through all my years in business advising small business owners, I constantly watch for trends and statistics affecting small businesses. One of the most consistent statistics I always see whenever I check for the latest trend is the statistics that 8 out of 10 startup small businesses fail within the first 5 years.

That’s such a consistent statistics through the years that there must be something behind it. Surely 80% of small business owners can’t possibly be poor business people?
