Posted by Molly Nelson - I will freely admit that I'm a big fan of planning. Various calendars, checklists, sticky notes, and the occasional Outlook reminder give me a handle on what I'm doing and where I'm going from day to day.
Planning, especially in the form of a business plan, is also important for your business, as this post on The Industry Word blog makes clear. The author encourages business owners to, "Take business planning as a process that involves changing
assumptions and regular review and corrections....It's a step in a process that helps to manage change and steer the
business."
