Write a Simple Focused Two Page
Business and Lifestyle Plan, not a Book

Capture the essence of where you want to take your business, the strategic projects or services you want to build and the income you want to make. Using a few key words or phrases is all you need to focus on creating the business, services, and income you want.

The value of a one page business plan versus a lengthy document is that it actually gets used, is understandable, easy to write and update and manage. 

The Simpler the Business Plan the better

The key to a living business plan is to make it simple and clear. Your focus is to plan for what is critical to the growth and development of the business and then implement the plan with a laser focused approach.

 

Start with an Assessment

Assess the different areas in your business on a scale from 1-10 to get a big picture view of your strengths and where you might want to focus. Areas to consider include, but are not limited to: Business Development -- getting new clients, Marketing (social marketing, speaking, advertising, conferences), Sales, Service Delivery, Product Development, Operations/Administration, Human Resources (eg: hiring, professional development), Revenues and cash flow.

Examine which areas need the most attention and will provide the biggest payoffs to achieve the results you desire.
