The 1-page Biz Plan
by Chataun Denis on 10/07/13
If you're not going to the bank for a loan to start or expand your business, I propose a 15-page business plan isn't necessary. Yes, I do have the 15-pager, but I rarely use it. My everyday plan is a 1 page chart that lists my 2-3 most immediate goals. Each goal lists 1-2 objectives as well as as benchmarks and action steps.
This business planning process is simple for me. I'm a visual learner and I need information to be succinct, presented in a visual format, and concise. I keep it taped to my window behind my desk where I can see it at all times. For small businesses and nonprofit start-ups, this is business planning made EASY!
