Let’s say your big goal this year is to drive from New York to Los Angeles. Would you try to get there without a map? Heck NO! Sure, maybe someday you’d make it to Los Angeles after a lot of wrong turns and detours, but why waste all that time?
So please don’t try to get to the next level of your business without a map, a.k.a. your business plan. Strategic planning for small businesses is the most direct way for you to get from where you are now (bad*ss) to where you want to be this time next year (baller).
In case I still haven’t convinced you to write your business plan and up your business goals this year, here are three more compelling reasons why you should do it:
- I have included a template HERE that’s less than 3 pages and will take you less than 3 hours to complete.
- It will make you more money! Harvard Business School ran a study that shows that entrepreneurs who wrote plans for their business strategy were more likely to succeed.
- You can get one of your Boss Babe friends to do it with you and feel bad*ss together.
