The planning stage is the most important aspect when preparing to start a business, but your plan must be flexible. Unexpected changes will occur and your original idea may be skewed in the process. As long as you have identified what the problem you are trying to solve is and who you wish to solve it for, you must figure out the best method of delivering the answers.
Unfortunately for entrepreneurs there is a great risk factor. Many businesses fail within the first few years of initial launch. Much of the failure is because of a lack of planning. Capital runs out, new leads run dry,or the passion for the business may be diminished.
In order to prevent a failure, a system must be developed. A decent look into how businesses are operated will reveal the fact that there is a standard business operating procedure involved to make it successful. The system ensures that everyday activities run smoothly and flow interactively. All franchises operate under some sort of business system. For example, in every McDonalds you walk into you will notice the drive through is on the left, the fries right behind the counter, and the shake machine is on the right side. This type of system has been sucessful so McDonalds uses it in every store. When planning a business try to come up with some kind of daily operational procedure and write it down. You will find this very useful for not only yourself, but also for any employee you hire to work in your business.
