Do you have a Business Plan?
Congratulations, but you are in a small
minority. And if you have a plan, is it
integral to your business, and
instrumental to its growth? If the answer
to this question is yes, then you need
to read no further. However, most
business owners who actually go to the
trouble to write a business plan have
left it languishing on their bottom shelf,
gathering dust! This is the dirty little
secret of business consultants.
Most business consultants are only
interested in selling their time or their
'Business Plan in a Box' but know that
for a business plan to be useful, it has
to be part of a Business Management
System. But this is a much harder
proposition for the consultant to sell,
particularly to small business owners
who are just looking for a quick fix. So
most consultants just sell a quick fix
solution- a business plan that they
know will, within months, end up on the
bottom shelf. Once owners have
prepared their "fill in the blanks" plan,
they expect it to transform their
business overnight just by its mere
existence. And because this does not
happen, they never look at it
again.
Business Plans do work, but you have
to make them work. It is not a one-off
exercise. If you buy a 'Business Plan in
a Box', you need to understand that
you are responsible for maintaining the
plan. You also need to satisfy yourself
that the product you buy is not just a
fill in the blanks product. These plans
always end up on the bottom shelf.
They don't show you how to do your
strategic analysis (which is never a fill in
the blanks exercise- no matter what
someone tells you).
Business Planning is a real soul
searching exercise for the business
owner. Dr Greg Chapman of

Empower Business Solutions warns
that you have to be brutally honest with
yourself. Even if you prepare your
plan yourself (without a coach), get
someone else involved to keep you
honest! Looking at examples of what
others have done can help, but your
business will have different strengths
and weaknesses and will operate in a
different marketplace. And lastly, make
sure any off-the-shelf product you
choose will show you how to implement
your plan into your business.
When you use a consultant, insist that
they show you how the plan should be
implemented into your business
process. And have the consultant give
you at least one review of your
performance against your plan six
months after the plan has been
delivered. While this will cost you extra,
this will ensure that your plan does not
end up on the bottom shelf- because
you know you will be held to account!
Business Planning is not an easy
process. It takes time and commitment.
You don't just do it once. This is not
what business owners want to hear, and
what most consultants won't tell you,
because it might cost them a sale. But
the rewards from a well implemented
business plan are worth many times
your investment.

AFFIRMATION
We cant all be Captains, we've
got to crew, there's something
for all of us here.
There's big work to do and
there's lesser to do. The task we
must do is near.
If you cant be a highway, hen
just be a trail.
If you can't be the sun, be a star;
it isn't by size that you win or you fail.
BE THE BEST AT WHATEVER YOU ARE!
The above poem was given to me by my high school English
Language teacher – Mrs. Kerr-Allayne. The words of the poem are
posted on the wall of my home office. Each morning, before I start
my day, I ensure that I reflect on the message of the poem: BE THE
BEST AT WHATEVER YOU ARE!
You are an extraordinary person. The world is waiting for you to conquer it. Love + Success, Warren
