Last week I discussed the Business Plan Worksheet and created various categories that should be addressed when starting a new business. This week I am going to focus on one of the categories and create a Project Plan.
Beginning with the Business Details category, I divide it into a few more manageable lists and create four different Project Plans.
#1 Home Office Set Up
a) computer
b) printer
c) samples
d) supplies
Desk & chair
Storage unit
a) storage containers
Phone
I will add in the cost of all of these items and include them in my start-up costs.
#2 Order Process & Business Forms
a) Order Process
b) Payment Process
c) Service Agreement/Contract
e) Design Process
#3 Mission Statement or Company Description
a) About Me/Bio
b) Photos of Products
c) Photo of me
#4 Financial Overview
a) Start Up Cost
b) Personal Investment
c) Projected Revenue

Once I have filled in my Project Plan I will then use the "Daily List" to assist in completing the tasks. I have limited my list to 5 tasks and the ones that I don't complete will be moved to the next day's list. I try to do work on something everyday in order to make headway in building my plan.
I hope that sharing today's post will help move you closer to your business goals.
