A section in your business plan, however, should list out the assumptions that one will prove or invalidate in that 3 to 6 months. Join us as we discuss all things involving assumptions within a business plan.

Andy and Zach look at the relationship between the words Be, Do and Have in our lives. Which do we do first in life, Be or Do? Do we do certain things in order to be a certain way in life (Be) or do we try to be a certain way in life first which then drives our decision making during our "doing" in life? Joy, happiness and success occurs for us when we start with our "be" which drives our "do rather than doing in order to achieve a "be" in life.
