A BUSINESS PLAN
A business plan is essential for every entrepreneur, but if it is your first time doing one, it can be
complicated. Business owners argue when it comes to how long it should be, but usually with
one page you can cover all your needs at first and get organized to get started.
Here are five easy steps to create a one page business plan:
1. Start with your vision
Start the plan with the end in mind. You must communicate in front of where you want to take
your business to set the tone of your plan. Do you want to make it grow so that it sells? Do you
want it to be a legacy that will last a lifetime? What is your great focus for the final goal? It is
important to start with the last stage in mind. Your vision should summarize that too.
2. Formalize your mission
You know what your vision is, now you need to describe what you are going to do to achieve it
in a brief and accessible way. You must show this statement so that you and your team can see
it and remember why they do what they do every day.
3. List your goals
Think of them as bullets that you plan to fulfill. For example, "Dominate at least 10% of my niche
market by 2016" or human resources goals such as "Hire a full-time graphic designer by the end
of the year." They must be the big goals you want to achieve with a specific time to do it.
4. Establish your strategies
These will describe how you plan to achieve your goals. What is a marketing plan? Sales
strategies? Would you dedicate your time to research and development? What are the
strategies you will follow to achieve your goals?
5. Create an action plan
You have the objective, you have decided to use a strategy, what steps will you follow to ensure
that your business maintains that momentum to achieve it and achieve the manifestation of
your great vision? They should be short-term actions and daily tasks, things you can start doing
now to reach your final goal.
