Fail to Plan or Plan to Fail?

It is written and often repeated that businesses that fail to plan, plan to fail. It is not usually undercapitalization that brings failure to a business rather it is usually a lack of strategic planning.

Strategic planning isn’t just a business plan put together over a day or two to make a business look good. A strategic plan is a business plan that includes strategies and skill development that is necessary for your organization’s success. It is a process that involves not only determining where a company wants and needs to go, but also, how it is going to get there.

" Not having a strategic plan is like steering a boat without a rudder!"
