Making a business plan is essential to starting right

When Making a Business Plan there are many considerations but these few are absolutely essential.

First, decide what business you want to be in. I am not referring to the product or service you’re promoting, but rather, the end result or the “great end” that you are providing the customer.

For instance, I owned and operated a business for many years in the service industry. For me it was drapery cleaning, and the manufacture and installation of draperies, blinds and shades and related products. That is what we did in the business >b>but the business I was in was service! Our particular specialty was to provide weekend or night service to commercial customers. Basically, if they had a problem revolving around window coverings we could take care of it for them. This is what I mean by saying you must first decide what business you are in. To answer the question by simply saying “the blind or drapery business misses the point completely and would be of little help in making a business plan.
