Emerging business leader Dara Forleo is joining us on the show this week to help us understand how crucial your business plan is and the importance of setting up policies and procedures to support your growing business.

Here are the top takeaways from this episode:

• You're going to make mistakes in your business, Dara recommends that you budget for somebody to help you like a mentor or a business coach.
• Put processes and procedures in place. Be stringent with your policies, procedures, and daily planning in order for your business to run smoothly.
• Business plans are your foundation. Once you start building on your foundation, you're going to find that your plan will try to go in other directions. You will be met with little curves and hiccups, so you'll need a secondary way of doing things or another thought of "How am I going to work around this?" Flexibility is important.
