When we started our business we knew we wanted to do it debt-free and would only need to create a business plan if we wanted bank funding. We came up with a concept called a Business Outline that gives us direction for the business and a platform to follow. Instead of spending countless hours guessing what our customers might want we focused on how we were going to market our site, coming up with great content and enjoying what we were doing. We are now following a Business Outline for all our business projects and it's working great. Thanks for the fantastic post! We could not agree more.

When I first started my business, I spent literally months planning and writing plans and in the end wasting time. One thing that was told to me, which I wish I knew earlier, is the one page business plan. It's basically one page where all the information that is required and how you are going to get there is in the one place. The great advantage of this one page is that you can constantly refer to it (mine is above my computer screen on my wall) and make changes. It's always being looked at and changed when needed. And because it fits on one page, it's simple and only has the necessary information. A great book that I've come across lately that covers some of this is "Mastering the Rockefeller Habits" by Verne Harnish. Well worth a read. Cheers Craig Hi Kellie,
