So, let's see how we would make a business plan that would show exactly how your business could give you the salary you want. First you would determine what you would like your salary to be. You've dreamed about having a nice income to support your dreams I'm sure. Let's say right now you only make what your profit is giving you which might not be much. So let's say the first year, next year, you would love to have a consistent monthly salary of Ŭꯠ a month, every month. And every year you would like to be able to increase it so that after 10 years it would be at บꯠ per month. And let's say you would like to grow your business 10% each year.
I have been putting together business plans for over 25 years and it is clear to me that the strength of its core rests solely on being able to execute the plan. Each year I approach business planning as an opportunity, rather than a burden. I would rather invest the time up front in mapping out the upcoming year, than leaving it to chance to dictate my strategy. While this may force me to think strategically as well as tactically, preparing a detailed business plan in advance enables me to identify the challenges in advance of actually facing them.
