If you are business planning a great idea that you think will make you money; or if you simply want to turn your passion or vocation into a business, stop and think before you leap.
The world is a constantly changing place and there are a few boxes to tick when you are planning a new business venture. Here are 9 business planning must-haves to think about:
ONLINE!
No business will be able to survive in the future without an interactive online presence.
WOW FACTOR!
People (not computers) are gifted with creativity and insight; be an innovator not a ‘me-too’
GLOBAL!
The world market is only a click away, and so are the related international challenges to address.
INSTANT!
Time is the consumer’s scarcest resource, making convenience always in high demand. Consumers won’t wait for you or abide by your inflexible structure. They want products and services now. Baby boomers were taught to wait but even they are changing their attitudes.
FREE!
The internet business community is developing as a “cheap or free” economy. So you will have to be innovative in the way you generate revenue.
COLLABORATION!
New concepts are evolved by combining ideas; by building upon what’s gone before. Similarly, concepts are implemented by sharing resources (i.e. human, intellectual and technological capital).
SOCIAL!
Instant communication, online social networking, information sharing and fan-base dynamics will play an ever increasing role in making and breaking businesses.
DIFFERENCES!
Businesses survive and grow on their differences, not their sameness. Also look past your operating difference and your bottom line to making a social difference and an environmental difference.
CONNECTIVITY!
You are not a disconnected being; you are a descendant of about 300,000 years of human life, and a couple of billion years of evolving life form before that. You are the latest product of the environment and the universe. So make the most of your shelf life; be open to making positive connections with everything and everyone around you. Don’t resist and do your best not to get in the way of natural connectivity.
