When starting up, a business plan provides you with a framework to effectively identify all key resources and drivers, enabling you to plan the way forward and launch your Minimum Viable Product (MVP). After the MVP is launched, it's essential to gather information and update your business plan accordingly. Indeed, the business plan must be a dynamic document and it is useful for attracting investors. However, it's important to remember that investors don't invest in business plans; they invest in the People driving the execution of those plans.

Does your plan keep you up at night? Is it something that is novel, earth shattering, even revolutionary? Ok, that’s a good start. Flexibility is key at this stage. Be ready to change it several times before settling (I use this word positively) on the idea that will “find the lost word.”

As a revenue and business growth strategist, I am a huge proponent of having a business plan, in fact, one of the first things I will do with a new 1:1 client is look at their plan or if they don't have one we will start to write one. By writing a business plan you gain a firm grasp on what is needed to successfully launch and run your business. In order to write a business plan you must You must first first define and then research your market. An integral part of this research is the competitor analysis. By analyzing our competitors and listening to their customer's needs and preferences we can gain valuable insight. By identifying gaps and looking for unfilled needs, we may find we need to tailor our offerings and plan accordingly.

Next, see where your idea for a business is most needed. Look internationally to where people are using the widget, the idea of your business widget idea, and even locally to where it failed miserably, or succeeded beyond expectations. Doing analysis of the demographics, qualitative and quantitative population samples, longitudinal data development, and sheer people watching can stir the creative process for a truly novel business proposal.

Are you wanting to become a millionaire overnight? Then stop right now, and walk away. Thomas Edison ring any bells? He did the whole light bulb business over seven hundred times, putting all of his passion and dedication in finding the right filament for his light bulb. It wasn’t until many years later that the whole silly business of a glowing ball so people could see better took off, well, like a fast lighting lightbulb. Everything else came later.

In tandem with outlining goals and objectives, a robust business plan strategy involves a meticulous alignment process. Fuse your specific and measurable outcomes with the overarching mission, vision, and values of your business. Synthesize these aspirations with insights gleaned from a comprehensive market analysis. The key lies in breaking down these goals into bite-sized, achievable tasks, establishing clear milestones, and defining measurable indicators. This granular approach ensures that your business plan not only envisions success but also maps a practical and attainable pathway to realizing both short and long-term objectives.

Make a decision plan. Meaning, plan it out down to the curves of the paper on which you are writing your ideas. Flush every little derivative out to the fullest degree, including how the product or service will be implemented. Will you sell it online, in person, or as a third person to another company already established? How much will it cost to produce a mock-up? How long will it take to create the first, second…the hundredth version of your widget until it is accepted by other businesses, one’s own colleagues, or those at a business fair or conference?

Before investing significant resources you want to validate your assumptions. The best way to do that is within a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) Sometimes we think we know what our customers or clients NEED but we aren't giving them what they WANT. The primary goal of your MVP is to validate the demand and then to refine and make improvements based on real-time feedback to build a more complete product that resonates with your target audience
