QUESTION: How important is it for you to have a business plan?

I always set goals for my business and I track these monthly. I also try and visualise what I would like my brand to look like in a years time and make small stepping stones towards that final outcome. I always remind myself of my ethos and my brand purpose to ensure my goals are achievable and purposeful. 

@Abi1 I saw that you're new to QB's and you have just started using it for your small business; welcome and amazing news! I would love to know about your business plan or if you have ever considered creating a business plan? Do you have goals and targets mapped out? Comment your experience below! 

Hi, Jaynemartin!

I saw that you're a sole trader and you're wanting to do QuickBooks yourself, that's amazing! I hope I will be at that stage one day too and be in control of my finances 100%.

I would love to know more about your business! Do you have goals and aims you're working towards for this year? How important is a business plan for you?

Hi, @Karsty! 

Hope you're having a great week. How is your business? Have you been busy with the gardening?

Also, I would love to know - do you have a business plan? How do you prepare for years ahead in your business? Or... Are you relaxed with this? :smileyhappy:
