who has done a business plan?
 

have you sat down and planned it all out? i know i havnt but seriously thinking about doing it.

if you have do you think its worth doing or will i be wasting my time?

Everyone should have one or at least a basic outline of thier goals. Saves a lot of steps later in the big picture.

Haven't done one for internet ventures, but have one for a bar/venue I plan on opening.

Hmmm I may be wrong, but I think he meant a professional business plan. LIke the kind banks or investors require.

For sure for any business you should have atleast a small idea of what you're doing :winkwink:

I completed a draft plan a couple of days ago and am fine tuning it now. The process was very useful because it forced me to think things through in much greater detail than I do when functioning on auto-pilot. It also helped me to prioritise projects and determine the most efficient sequence of tasks. Now the next couple of years are laid-out step by step.

All I have to do is follow my plan :thumbsup

Just going with the flow.

everyone should do one.. it help to organize and prioritize things and guide you when you are in the middle of the storm...

The bank certainly won't lend money without one:glugglug

Well, our business plan netted us over 25k in loans, so we I'm sure fit into the "professional" business plan pool. :)
