Secret
When you’re starting your own business you should only have a short term plan, but ensure that you can make it a success. Don’t get too carried away with lots of grand business plans and projections and financials because they cost time, they cost you money, and you can probably guarantee that you’re not going to achieve them. Have a general plan, give yourself some targets, give yourself some easily achievable milestones. Then each time you achieve one of those milestones take a review of the position and say, is thing going according to plan, is it moving along the way you’d like to move along, and if needs be, you can change direction.
