Starting a Small Business or Small Business Plan is like opening up the doors for your dreams. Generally it involves lot of planning and hard work even before you actually turn the knob. It is a feeling of lifetime to work on something which is your own. It can demand a lot of hard work but the real satisfaction comes from the feeling that you are doing something for yourself. Some people have great support system to help them sail through the initial tough times while there are those who are completely on their own. But if you are committed than there is nothing that can stop you. Small Business or your Small Business Plan can be anything from opening up your own manufacturing facility to even working on home based business.

People do fail and I have always believed that it is the idea which fails and not people. The loss of time, money, and moral is hard to be compensated and is something which takes the charm out of the dream. The better prepared we are for the worst makes us embrace success with open arms. But to be prepared for worst all you need is a fool proof plan. The plan should be solid enough to negate any failure which might come on its way. No matter what is your area, all that matters is whether all risks have been considered or not.

There are two basic questions which any Business Plan should answer. It should not be different for your small business too.

1)      Market Opportunity – Many People are so much obsessed with their idea that they forget to answer this basic question. How big is the market opportunity, do you have competition, how much is the money flow, who are major players etc. This question is important because it is the lifeline of your small business. It is a big mistake to start something and then pray for things to happen. This is the basic and most essential question because your survival rests on it. You miss to answer this and there is a high probability that your idea might face the hard time.

2)      Scalability- The next important question is, Is your Idea scalable. What it means essentially is that how easy it would be for you to support your growth when your business grows. When you chalk out on the growth path would the incremental cost would come down or it would continue to grow. Would your business become self sufficient and would remove redundancies or it would be dependent upon factors which is not under your control. Would it be able to run and flourish with little effort or you need to throw the best things to make it happen. Scalability is an important question because only scalable business can command higher growth which is must to achieve extraordinary profits. Once you are on a scalable growth trajectory than their is no looking back.

You business plan can have many more questions like when, where, how in what manner etc but market opportunity and scalability is like blood and heart of your business. You can enter the best of market but scalability can make your idea redundant or vice-versa. It is important not to get driven by emotions but by hard core facts.

Answer the above two and most of the answers to your questions related to Small Business Plan would fall in line.

A winning habit is never a coincidence but a result of hard work that one has put in all past years. When you set your sight, all you should aim is your Goal. Once you know what you want to achieve you are very much into the Game. It is certainly better than not knowing where you want to go in life.

Setting Goal is an easy part. Everyone loves to do it. But true test of a person character comes when the game begins. You

1)     Set Goals

2)     Work On it

3)     Lose Interest

4)     Get distracted

5)     Start something else

And when you look back, all you get is Disappointment. Years pass by and all you are left with is a heavy heart that reminds you of a failure \. Nevertheless, people do stand up again and try mostly but to fail again.

To be true, there is nothing wrong with this. It is a part of human nature. The problem is not in the way one losses but it is in the way one sets up himself to achieve a Goal. Achieving Goal is a Journey. You increase your chances by enjoying the journey. Stop enjoying it and you are up for failure.

There are 5 Smart steps which will help you achieve you Goals. These are more than essence of enjoying the journey rather than craving hard for final outcome. Follow them and Success would come faster to you.

1)     Break Big Goal – It is always advisable to break your big goals into smaller ones. It is like going on a long journey and finalizing places where you would stop to spend your nights. Anticipate the path you would take to achieve the goals and divide it into smaller parts.  It is important that the breakup should coincide with the resources you have in hand and the incremental benefit you would get after achieving smaller smart goals. Success replicates and each small goal helps you to achieve the next one.

2)     Give Realistic Timeline to Each Goal- Don’t strain yourself by giving timeliness which you know would fail you. It is better to be slow and reach a goal than not to reach at all. It is also important that timelines should not be so long that you lose interest in the goal. It has to be the optimum level which should keep you interested and should keep the flame alive. Setting realistic timelines and than beating them gives an added thrust to aim higher.

3)     Achieve It- Now that goal has been set and timeline has been given, do your best to achieve it. Leave no stone unturned to make it happen. When goal is small and timeline is realistic you get kick to complete it in time and with great zeal. Not only the success makes you feel good about yourself but also helps you to prepare for the next step.

4)     Repeat the Process – When one small goal is achieved than go for the second. Depending upon the progress you have made there is no harm in working through the plan for next set of goals or timeliness. The aim should be to implement your learning and see if it can help the next goals in any manner. Generally it happens that the wisdom you get helps you develop a rocking attitude. Learn with each step.

5)     Celebrate Each Win- Throw off stress and celebrate each win. It is like taking a rest before starting each morning. The celebration can be in any form but the spirit should be the one that inspires you to take the next thing head on. Let the joy erupt from inside you so that there is a space available for next one to seep in.

Breaking goals into smaller parts has always helped me. It is the smartest thing one can do when one has set himself to achieve big goals in life. This can be from increasing your net worth to targeting an overall personality- Breaking Big Goals into small helps you Rock.
