Business Plans..... Are They Important
Hello, today I have a few questions for you concerning your business. What is your business plan? How important is this to your goals? Finally can you honestly have a productive and successful business without a business plan?
Well, let's start from the beginning. According to wikipedia,
A business plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals, the reasons they are believed attainable, and the plan for reaching those goals. It may also contain background information about the organization or team attempting to reach those goals.
In addition business plans may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer, client, taxpayer, or larger community. When the existing business is to assume a major change or when planning a new venture, a 3 to 5 year business plan is required, since investors will look for their annual return in that time frame.
When you are a start up or new business, banks, small business administrators, urban leagues, and other entities will often ask you for a business plan before they will even talk ,to you and/or counsel you and definitely before loaning any money. Also as we see in the above definition, your goals are defined within your business plan, therefore stating your goals are very important and necessary. Taking this into effect it is safe to assume the answer to the final question is a resounding no,
you must have a sound business plan which definitely defines your goals in order to have maintain and succeed in business.

How Important Is Your Brand? What does this mean for you?
Understanding your Brand and the power of it is so important in business. As an example let's take the iPhone.
See the people in line here, they are waiting on the release of the new iPhone 6. The strange thing is this release is still two weeks out. What's more bizarre is no one knows what the updates are on the iPhone 6, yes, it's still a mystery. What's even more bizarre is the third and fourth person in this line paid the first and second person 2500.00 a piece for their spots. This shows the power of Brand marketing. That's called sight unseen marketing and it proves the power of the brand. We as entrepreneurs should always concentrate on our brands because the power of the brand is what sells the product! We should always market our brand because WE are our brand! To succeed in any business you should always remember " you do not market your company, you market your brand" Tanya Aliza.
People do not purchase your company, they purchase your brand or a facsimile of it et al iPhone,iPad, Galaxy S5, they do not purchase Apple, Samsung, etc... So it is always important to market your brand Because your BRAND is you.
