Would You Tell Your Business Banking Manager or Future Stakeholders That You Don’t Have an Effective Business Plan or Strategy For The Future? ( Especially if you have business loans or want to expand in the future)
Five Essential Reasons Why Planning Works
It’s your blue-print for the future
Not taking time to plan your business success is like a making a movie without a plot or building a house without plans. There’s a lot of guesswork, a lot of risk, and a lot of wasted time and money.
Everyone will be on the same bus
It enables your staff, family, clients and suppliers to understand where you are going. You will benefit from everyone striving to achieve an end goal that is clearly visible and understood.
You will have a clear and understandable Vision for the future and be pointing in the same direction.
How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time. A good plan will have targets and incorporate a timetable that show when those targets will be met. Everyone will be able to reach small targets that are realistic and achievable. Success breeds success.
It forces you to think about the real issues
Use a professional facilitator. It’s actually the process you go through to produce the plan that is the benefit. Effective planning requires special skills. Start with a future shared vision firmly established. If you don’t know where you are going, how will you ever get there. Vision without action is merely a dream (Joel Barker)
Fact
Research by the Commonwealth Bank states that businesses with a working business plan achieve 63% higher revenue growth and 58% higher profit growth. Nearly 80% of businesses that fail do not have a business plan or believe that it’s important. The 2003 Australian Family and Private Business Survey (RMIT) found that: 33.5 % do not have a written business plan. 52.8% do not have a Strategic (long term) plan. 76.1% do not have a written Succession plan. 35% do not have written job specifications.
