Are Business Plans a Waste of Time?


Listen Later

Yes, writing a business plan is a lot of work. And it demands a healthy dose of legwork and critical thinking, especially in some areas of business that may be unfamiliar to you. 

But one thing is certain: Business plans are not is a waste of time. 

They’re actually the best thing that could happen to your startup, and in this episode I’ll share 5 important benefits.

In this episode you will learn:

  1. How a business plan can save your startup from failing.
  2. Why winging it is not a strategy – and how that hurts your odds for success.
  3. Why a business plan attracts investors... even if they don’t read it (and they likely won’t).
  4. Why a business plan done right is flexible, not rigid.
