10/29 - Why you need a Business plan NOW! 

Building a Successful Business Plan

The University of Oregon Department of Economics study proves business planning has a positive business impact on companies that do it!  The study shows that businesses that complete business planning are 50% more likely than those without a business plan to 1) Grow their business, 2) Secure a loan, and 3) Acquire investment capital. Join Dino Eliadas with a great assessment for whether you need to do a successful business plan or not.  Your business plan should help you achieve business self-sustainability not hinder it!  

A great assessment for whether you need to do a successful business plan or not is to quickly review the questions posed below.  See if you can thoroughly answer all the questions.

  1. What need does your business fulfill?
  2. How does your offering fulfill this need?
  3. How is your business unique from others that fulfill this need?
  4. Who are the key stakeholders in your business?
  5. How big is your market?
  6. Who makes up your target market?
  7. What is the best way to communicate with each of these different parts of your market?
  8. Describe all the different ways that you will make money from this market?
  9. How much money will it take to get started and keep your business going?
  10. Outline exactly what you need to do to breakeven every month?

ROUNDTABLE CHALLENGES DISCUSSIONS (SPARKS)

  • Share whatever challenges their business may be facing
  • Receive ideas, brainstorming, and options about your challenges from people who have been there
