BLOG 3 of a four-month-long blog sharing insights into the world of owning your own business.
IS OWNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS SEXY?- my friend Jen said so... what do you think?
I wrote a business plan for 2012. Is that sexy?
By writing a business plan, I provide structure for the future of the business, and give other people an opportunity to understand and assist me with my plans.
For those of you who like to cook, compare writing a business plan to this scenario: You have 50 people coming to a dinner you are hosting, sometime next year. Before you buy groceries, you must completely plan the event, not just what your guests will eat, but also the location, table decorations, floral arrangements, wait staff, party favors, live music, any extra electrical, water and parking arrangements, valets, napkins, flatware and everything it takes to make a party come off without a hitch. And then, you have to write about how much all of these items will cost and all of the benefits that you expect for yourself and the guests from having attended the dinner party.
Does this level of planning excite you? If so, you would get a major charge from writing a business plan. For those ridiculous, artistic personality types who would rather “do” than “plan to do,” they would almost rather be struck by lightning than have to do all that planning.
But, I DID IT!
Is that sexy?
