MoreMany of us work in an organisation and manage processes. A lot of us also go into business and become part of the Small Medium Enterprise (SME's) collective which has been the powerhouse of economic growth and employment for many economies for decades. Business is a game, but a serious one, it is the process of putting capital (cash) into an enterprise which hopefully will provide a good return on the capital employed. To fail could be ruin for many; for those who make it, it can be very rewarding. As we plan our household budget, it seems only logical that we plan our businesses by building a business plan. Although the end result is the plan, what is more important and 50% of the process is the planning and evaluation, discussion with your team of what outcomes you put into the plan. By thinking about your external and internal environments and sharing this activity with your business team, you can reduce risks and gain 'buy in' to the plan. The other 50% of a business plan is making it 'go live': a living and breathing plan that you use to give your business and its team direction and goals. Monthly, weekly, daily you can use your plan to ensure you are on track and achieving the set outcomes in the plan. It will allow you to make minor adjustments, and look back over a year and say 'we did it' or 'we went close,' as failure is not an option. This book shares with you years of business experience laid out in logical sections using a language we can all understand. It is a practical book that steps you through the key elements of building a business plan and running a successful business, as Failing to Plan is a Plan to Fail.
