TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE BUSINESS PLANNING

  * Clearly define your business idea and be able to succinctly articulate it. Know your mission.
  * Examine your motives. Make sure that you have a passion for owning a business and for this particular business.
  * Be willing to commit to the hours, discipline, continuous learning and the frustrations of owning your own business.
  * Conduct a competitive analysis in your market, including products, prices, promotions, advertising, distribution, quality, service, and be aware of the outside influences that affect your business.
  * Seek help from other small businesses, vendors, professionals, government agencies, employees, trade associations and trade shows. Be alert, and ask questions.
