Business Plan: The Plan

Jump to Comments

Remember I said one of my future streams of income will be my business plan for an Internet Marketing Website? If you were thinking I may have forgot, well, thats not the case. I will admit, however, that of all my ‘projects’ (if you will), this is the one I have neglected the most. Why? Because I don’t like writing (says the guy who posts twice a day on his blog).

Here is how it will go down: I will write one section of the business plan twice a week. Every Tuesday and Thursday. Ideas are taken down in between. Why two days a week? Why those days? Because thats what I just decided 5 minutes ago. However, I just wrote it down in my blog and I didn’t just say that for the sake of something to write – I have now committed to writing 2 sections of my business plan a week. That is 5 weeks (given the business plan template I plan to follow), one day off, and a completed business plan.

Wow, that is really just sinking in with me as well. 5 weeks - long time? Somewhat, depends on how you look at it. Yes, it will feel like a long time., but how many people get to writing a business plan, or anything else equally productive, in the span of 5 weeks? Yeah… and I am only doing this twice a week, and probably for less than 2 hours each section. I would be angry with myself if it takes any longer than three.

Come the end of 5 weeks, no, I won’t have a finished product. I will not be ready to present to any board of whatever. But after revisions, editing, critiquing, and more revisions (the planning for this goes in after its written) – BAM, finished business plan. I won’t be killing myself thinking about it during this time either.

You didn’t expect me to start up on my Business Plan without planning it out first, did you? Thats how robots find themselves in the closet with only a torso, two arms and a leg. Without planning, your projects will find themselves half done in the gutter.
