I talked about two experts in the
field of writing business plans, Tim Berry and Ellen Rohr, in a previous blog.
I spoke on individual lessons I learned from researching each one. When it came
to Mr. Berry he taught me that I constantly have to keep building on my
business plan. When the day comes that my business plan is finished then that
means that my company is done forever. I learned that I must continue to figure
out what works for my business and apply it to my business plan to better my
company and benefit everyone involved. I can never stop trying to better my
business and incorporate ways to make it even more successful. As I continue
researching and coming up with ideas to include in my plan that lesson always
stays in my head. It made me realize that I have a lot of work to do and just
when I think I am done I realize I have more work to do. I would like to thank
Mr. Berry for giving me that insight because once I felt like I was done with
my plan that would have been it for me. I would not have thought to continue
building upon my business plan.
Ellen Rohr gave me a lesson that
not only I can use in business but life as well. She talked about letting go of
what you cannot control. That is so true. If something is not working within my
business plan and I have no way of making it work then I just have to let it
go. I have to come up with another way to make it work or scrap that whole idea
altogether and start fresh. If I do not do that then stress and frustration
becomes an issue and those feelings are not going to help me become productive
and come up with solutions to what is not working. Both of these lessons taught
me something but did not necessarily make me change anything about my business
plan. These lessons gave me insight as to how to handle writing my business
plan and to continue building upon it once I get my business up and running. I
thank them for these lessons and will take them with me throughout my lifetime.
