Always make sure that the company has been turned up into a protection plan or program, just in case it experiences a fall out in the corporation. In this way, the establishment is rest assured that they could manage standing up on it no matter what.

When I was in Calgary, I stumble upon a web design company that practices a great business plan. Their plan and you post share similar details. They are successful in their field so I suppose that your list is effective.

Always make your plan feasible and don't forget to put it into work. A week or a month testing the new business plan won't hurt especially when it's carefully thought of.

Paula, it's partly the process of writing it down. If you're committing it to paper, you're actively thinking about it as opposed to "ideas" that may be forgotten. It is harder to ignore, as you suggest. And it cements some action plan in your mind, as well.

Try it. You may come up with more ideas as you're writing. :)

What do you think it is about a written business plan that makes it work better than an a plan not committed to paper?

Maybe it's the whole "committed" part - even if you don't look at your business plan on a regular basis, because it's in writing it's harder to ignore?

I usually have a plan - special things I want to accomplish or areas I want to expand into - but have never actually put it in writing. Maybe I'll try that for 2013.

Good point, Devon. There are things on my own business plan that, six months later, didn't seem so important after all. 🙂

I find quarterly stock-taking is a good idea, definitely midyear, if nothing else.

I often find what I thought I wanted and what I really want are two different things, and make that adjustment.
