This week's tip is all about planning. Some people believe in creating and following a business plan and others believe in winging it. However, the old adage "a failure to plan is a plan to fail" is ABSOLUTELY true when it comes to running a business. With or without a formal business plan,  every entrepreneur and/or small business owner MUST plan the day, the week, the month, the quarter, the year and in some cases beyond. Now this may seem like very simple advice but most don't follow it. Those that do....succeed. A plan is a roadmap for your business. With a map you have a destination in mind and a path to get you there. Although, I am a true believer that life is not about the destination but the journey we take.....YOU are NOT the business. The business needs a plan. The business needs a destination. Only by reaching the destination can a business grow. This week's tip for you the entrepreneur and/or small business owner is to make a plan each day with goals in mind so that you will have a benchmark for measuring daily wins. Write down a list of things to do and check them off as you complete each item. Make sure the list is doable in your 8 to 12 hour day as finishing the daily race is important for building your confidence for achievement. When you starting winning on a daily basis your business has no choice but succeed.
