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.
Developing Planning Modules: Compartmentalizing your plan by developing planning modules or "chunks" allows you to attack the plan in parts, yet still maintain a cohesive plan. I have found that developing an annual plan made up of quarterly targets _ thus becoming a rolling quarterly forecast financial model _ allows for a cohesive structure along with the nimbleness to react to market conditions. At the end of each quarter, a true_up process to align results to annual targets needs to be re_forecast and adjustments made.
