I intend to start my business shortly but i need to plan on where i want to be and identify the ways to reaching my goals.

Thankfuly we had some very influencial savvy business owners that help guide us from some big pit falls. But saying that, we are still learning and growing. I have learned a lot just from the info posted here! When my business partner and I first started out, we didn’t plan enough just because we didn’t know any better.

Even just simple plan, it is really needed before launching a new business. As practitioner of small business, I ever run a business without understand how to read my business plan, whereas the plan has describe how will my business will run and what should I do in any situation which plotted in my business plan. At least it depends on the business owner, how they will make a business plan, complicated or just a simple one.

You said it true. Even I don't understand why they struggle a lot for a plan. This may be their inefficiency I think. Anyhow, nice post. Thanks.

Having a plan helps if success of your product or service is dependent on many external factors. If whatever you are selling is a one-night-comes-wonder (see: Million Dollar Page, see: Craigslist) then business plan is of no use. Given the current fascination with 300% grow startups - writing a business plan boils down to cash flow statement and projected earnings. Nothing else matters so far.
