Is Creating a Business Plan a Waste of Your Valuable Time?

Have you ever created a short, medium or long term business plan?

How successful were you at following it?

How frequently did you revise it taking into account real life experiences?

You can expect to endure setbacks in your business journey but did you build that into your plan?

I absolutely agree that planning is essential. However in my experience, backed by significant research, no matter your priorities or the activities in your plan the most significant valuable asset for positive, timely progress is accountability.

Who reviews your plan with you to ensure the tasks are specific, realistic and have deadlines?

Who regularly follows up to ensure you are meeting your commitments enabling you to stay on track or make the necessary amendments.

That is the value of an experienced business coach or mentor.

It has been regularly reported that businesses who work with a coach or mentor will achieve more rapid growth and will have a significantly higher survival rate.

Is that not what we all desire and deserve?
