Zen and the Art of The One Page Business Plan - Click To Read Article
Planning is a dialog. It starts deep within you.
When it’s appropriate... you will begin the process of exposing the dialog to your external world.
The initial form may be written notes, informal discussions with people you trust. When it’s appropriate, you will expand the dialog to your community.
The dialog will grow stronger... or die.
Remember when your mother told you to mind your business... maybe she was right.
Your life... is your business.
Two questions:
- Who are you?
- Who will you serve?
Planning your business... is planning your life.
The process of thinking before doing... is planning.
Everyone has plans... every day! Sometimes the plans are important enough to put in writing.
The successful have concise, clear plans and take action on them... and they may be in writing.

CEOs have the responsibility to make their planning processes effective; I believe the key is to keep the processes simple and focused.

If you believe you are the best strategic thinker in your organization, then you have a problem. If you tell your people what and where the opportunities are and then nudge, encourage, insist or demand they pursue them, then who owns the idea? You do. When you tell your people how and where to sell, you rob them of the opportunity to think for themselves.
