Do you Really Need a Business Plan to Run your Business?

Is writing a business plan always the first step in launching a new business? Professional business plan writers and small business consultants will answer in the affirmative; however, I wonder if they are just out of touch with what it takes to run a small business. Typically I would say that the first time you need a full business plan is when someone asks for it. Don't get me wrong I think you should certainly do your homework before you invest resources into a new business, but it doesn't have to be a business plan. Here is my suggestion for an alternative: 1. Start with Assumptions - If you are considering starting a new business, then you have already made certain assumptions, such as: You have identified a problem You have created a solution Someone will be willing to pay for...

7 Reasons Why Your Small Business Must Have A Content Management Strategy

Marketing guru Seth Godin has said 'Content marketing is the only marketing left.' New technologies mean traditional mass media is fast being overtaken by brands as publishers of content. It's easy to publish content online, but much more challenging to achieve tangible business results (like sales!) Why? As a business coach, I see a common marketing mistake that many small businesses make - they mistake participating in social media for actually having a content management strategy. Here's seven reasons why small business owners need to start with the strategy rather than the social media networks... 1. Activity (or busyness) in social media domains does not equate to goal achievement. It's expensive to create content (time and/or money) - if your content distribution strategy...

To Blog or Not to Blog? The Business Owner's Zillion Dollar Question!

At a recent business coaching gig for the KBN Ashgrove Network I talked about blogging. So many business owners think they 'should' blog but in truth have no idea of where to start, why they are doing it or how to have their blog generate results. Some of the reasons you could choose to blog include: * Your clients will 'get you': the less formal nature of blogging makes you a 'real' person in their eyes - who do people ultimately buy from? People they have relationships with! Authentic communication beats a static website any day. * You can create a forum for engagement with potential clients and others in your industry via 'comments'. * It is the foundation of your social media strategy. You have 100% control over your content... no-one can remove it or change it except you....

how to build a spreadsheet for the start-up costs for your business?

To begin don't go overboard on your Start-Up Costs: When calculating your initial start-up costs, bear in mind that you will most likely need a few months of funding to cover expenses before you even open for business. And remember that it will take a significant amount of time until the business is self-funding so plan for this in your startup cost plan. If you approach banks and other lenders for money, try to include a substantial reserve for running operations so that you will have enough money to set up an office, take orders, hire employees, and cover other related costs. No one gets it right first time so be reasonable with your revenue assumptions in the early stages and conservative with cost projections. As an added precaution it's also possible to structure a small-business...
