That&#039;s how a lot of business plans end up being created... because someone in power insists on it.  I&#039;ve written about analysis paralysis before, where someone will spend too long in the planning stage and never go out and actually get things done.  The key is to write your business plan in such a way that it focuses on the little goals as well as the big goals.  That helps to keep your business in perspective.

So with you being a cynic when it comes to business plans, it&#039;s nice to know I got your seal of approval regarding this post.  Thanks a lot!

lol, I hope you get that loan, and that the blue bunnies will help to see your vision through.</description>

		<description>Trey, I&#039;ve been in business for over 30 years and I have never willingly formulated a business plan. I say willingly because at the moment I&#039;m running a franchise and they insist on a yearly business plan. I just put together a whole lot of crap to shut them up.

I suppose my problem is that I have never been goal orientated. Perhaps if I had a business plan I would now be a millionaire. I don&#039;t know. I do know that I have survived where others have not, but perhaps that&#039;s just plain dumb luck.

Having said that, reading this almost made be change my views on having a business plan. You&#039;ve structure it extremely well and it is definitely worth a tweet.
