Heidi Sloss- I dont need a business plan?

Oct 182012

I know there are a lot of business coaches running around these days telling everyone that you need a business plan BUT here is the deal: unless you need outside capital or funding, you don’t need a business plan. In fact, investing your time and energy in a business plan a waste of your precious resources.
What you need is a marketing plan and you need a simple one to help you meet your business’ financial goals. A great marketing plan should be straightforward and uncomplicated. Basically a marketing plan is like a GPS for your business– and just like you wouldn’t go on a road trip without a map of a GPS, you shouldn’t run your business without a marketing plan.
As a serial entrepreneur, I always use a marketing plan to help me grow my business and my bottom line. And you can too. There are great resources on how to create a simple-to-use marketing plan online. Basically, you want one with only 6 to 8 powerful strategies that focus your marketing activities on building relationships with your prospects or great referral sources until they feel comfortable enough to do business with you.
