and a business plan is not a business plan if it’s not in writing.

I’ve met lots of businesss owners and CEOs here in Iowa who tell me they have a great plan but admit it’s not in writing. This is a real challenge if you want your team to not only follow you, but actually know enough about where you are going so they can help lead.

Yes a written business plan takes time but much less that trying to go back and redirect the team when they repeatedly move off track. A business plan does not have to be very complicated but it does need to be in writing.
