Welcome

To get the best out of this course take your time.  It takes as long as it takes.  Think about how the information relates to your business, after all you are the only one that really understands your business.  When you work through the exercises there are two critical factors to keep in mind, the numbers and who will use your products.  If you keep these at the core of your business then you will be customer centred and commercial.

Work through the lessons in order, but if you need to refresh or tweak your previous work then do so, but don’t do it too much.  If you are obsessing over small details too much you will loose interest before you are through.  This is designed to keep you on track, so let it make you think, make you pay attention to the details, but also learn to let go of perfectionism.

It is also a good idea, as this is a course you work through alone and at your own pace to find a trusted friend, someone that can guide you, bounce your ideas off and check you are making sense. It is good to find someone you trust, that has things in common with the people that will use your service or has a business themselves. Let them be a guide, but also if your gut instinct is that they are wrong, follow your gut, you can always change it later.

Finally, a business plan is not a static document, and should be reviewed frequently.  It is also best to consider your plan in three ways at first…worse case scenario, dream case scenario and somewhere realistic in the middle.  This is a guide, to you as the owner as to where you will place your attention, what is required and what help is available. It is also a guide to anyone with a stake in your business, for example your bank manager, a potential funder or a joint venture partner as to how you are operating, what your focus and priorities are and what your hope your business will deliver.

This is why your business plan needs to be written in the right language.  Your language should be professional, reflect your client group and be in third party dynamic style.  In other words write it as you would write a C.V.
