in 3 Easy Steps

Learn the secret to writing a winning business plan to guide you
to success in just 3 simple steps: Visualize, Brainstorm, Write.

Are you an entrepreneur starting off your first business? Have you worked for somebody else for most of your working life and are now looking to go it alone? Are you struggling with the idea of how to start your new business? Maybe you are in business for years and simply haven’t understood the value of a business plan and how it can push your business rapidly forward.

A business plan is a roadmap for your business to follow. If you take the time to consider where you are going to, and document it in a business plan, then there is a pretty good chance that you will actually get there.

Writing a business plan is not an academic exercise. Rather, it is a simple way to plan out your journey and to identify milestones you should pass along the way to your ultimate goal or destination. Without a business plan you are likely to take the long way round and maybe never reach your destination.

Niall Strickland has been coaching hundreds of small and medium sized businesses on how to create focused and achievement driven business plans for more than 20 years. He sees business plans as the guiding light through a maze of dead-end-streets.

Real Business Plans are not written for your bank, your ego or your filing cabinet. They are living breathing documents that constantly change and evolve as a business moves forward and help business owners and entrepreneurs to keep on track as they focus on winning and getting to the end game.

Your business plan does not have to be 50 pages long, or even half of that. Some of the best business plans can be laid out very simply in 5 to 10 pages. In my experience, the best way to start business planning is to take a visual approach and to start by setting out your basic ideas on a single page in a mind-mapping© format. (Mind mapping is a tool created by Tony Buzan, who has written many books about this topic).

In simple terms, you start with a blank sheet of paper and draw an information bubble in the centre of the page with the main topic at the centre. In this case, the topic is “business plan”. You then add information bubbles surrounding the centre which show the component parts of the business plan. An example of the core components of a business plan is shown in MindMap format below.

Working in a clockwise direction, you add keywords to each information bubble reflecting your thoughts on the topic. Start by considering the market opportunity that you are pursuing and identifying your “magic sauce” which will give you some competitive advantage over existing competitors or convince potential customers to buy from you rather than from somebody else.

Market opportunity is undoubtedly the most important element of the business plan that you must get your head around before investing time and money in your business idea. You need to take time out to consider this at some level of detail and perhaps discuss it with trusted friends and/or family so that you can validate the idea before racing off in the wrong direction.

My system will guide your through all 14 brainstorming topics at some level of detail and provide you with all the tools you need to write your winning business plan.

Unless you don't have a pulse, you must realize how using a structured system like this can dramatically change your business, finances and lifestyle.

Conversely, not having a system like this is like a dog trying to chase his own tail.- You go round and round and round but eventually end up in the same place you began, and not a bit wiser for your trouble.

I will show you how to visualize your business success, brainstorm the components of your business plan and write your business plan in a simple and effective way.
