this “map” must necessarily have a focus or a goal to meet. this objective largely determines even how it should be structured, because the same business may have more than one way to present it. for instance, a business can have a single plan, but with an approach that: encourage a potential investor to finance the initiative will help the manager to clarify and focus on a particular business, an entrepreneur east in his business venture, or provide for a structure of logic that can help create and design the routes to generate future strategies for a company currently in operation.

A few years back I was sitting in a lecture in which a man who had developed a very successful business selling products around the world gave us his 3 key points for success in the workplace. Although his points somewhat challenge traditional thinking, remember that he was successful by living this formula. Here are his three key steps to succeed with my thoughts:

1. What a unique concept! When most of us create a business plan, we divide the population and the rest on our laurels! The man was in favor of seeing the players who should be and measure ownership based on how much the value of individuals contributed.

Although this tactic may be okay if you are self-financing of the company, there are dangers in this strategy that you will want to be aware of. Do you think you have a good relationship with the people you are in business. There is nothing that someone else worth. You may not see eye to eye when it comes down to allocating equity. I have used this principle even to a certain extent. I prefer to let a company get together before sharing ownership up. I’ve had too many partners fall off prematurely or not display the talents, contacts and engage those professed to have. Read the rest of this entry »

2. Get rid of the customers sort D. Customers who require staff time and resources, but that does not give the expected return could complicate its business by preventing all of that is invested in the best potential customers.

3. Be a better customer. Strive more in its role of client. More and better negotiate with suppliers. Investigate and when prices are low try to negotiate long term contracts and ask for quantity discounts.

Do not be embarrassed or feel uncomfortable, just that you will make your customers to you.

4. Broaden your contacts. Social networks are great, but these, for now they will not replace face to face.

Leave the office to participate in events, fairs and congresses. Plan for new partnerships and make a plan for external sales.
