Biz Series 1- Let's start with the most basic and crucial process the Business Plan.

Plan is a must as it helps you know your business and help grow your business.

Business plan is not only written to attract investors, but can also be written to define process, clear understanding of the business strategies, and focus on key areas and growth. Companies which have a business plan have grown 30% more compared with the ones who consider it as an extra burden.

A well written business plan gives clarity about your process, strategies and how you are planning to run your business right from funding, promotions, identifying your target audience and so on. If your business plan is feasible with relevant figures and realistic forecast, it will definitely help you attract potential investors.

Business plan can be used as a powerful tool by both the start-ups and existing businesses.

For a start-up the business plan would include budget, funding, recruitment, training, sales projection and expenses.
An existing business would focus on a plan that will help identify critical drivers that need to be managed to steer growth. But in both the cases business plan should not be just a document. It should be used as a dynamic tool to identify potential and track growth.
Business plan structure can generally include following factors-

1. Executive Summary
Remember your first impression is the lasting one. Executive summary must be a quick overview about what is it that you want from the plan. It must include areas about your business, what product/ service/ solution your business provides, target market, key financial highlights and management team details with their roles.

2. Product and Services
This must include in detail about product description, how your product can be a solution, competitive landscape and business advantage

3. Marketing and Sales Plan
This includes how you will position your company, how you will price your products, how do you plan to promote your products and the processes for sales and after sales.

4. Competitive Analysis
The purpose of the competitive analysis is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the competitors within your market, strategies that will provide you with a distinct advantage.

5. Financial Plan
Financial plan must include your sales forecast, profit and loss statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet.

Once the business plan is finalized the most crucial part is to set the milestones and metrics as no plan can be useful without implementation and performance review & measurement at regular intervals. For effective ex*****on of the business plan you need to make a monthly plan which can be discussed with the team and responsibilities can be handed over for its achievement. But do remember to update your business plan as per the market environment.

A business plan prepared with attention to detail, well executed and timely updated is the key to your business growth.

Why does fear exist in Love?
We probably know the answer but, to what do we accord this fear in such a beautiful gift called Love?

Ownership in Love is probably the biggest reason that creates this fear.
When in Love we try to own a person. But we do not realise that Love is not about ownership.
In Love we just need to be there with our care, affection, appreciation and respect for that person. When you love it is all about cherishing the journey, then how much and what you own.

Love the Journey called Love.

Every morning when we wake up, we are gifted with a perfect day - to use the way we want to.
Now the choice is with us, whether we let the sunrise fill our day with bright hope & positivity or chose to be in the darkness by keeping the curtains closed.

Just think that you are given 24 lines and asked to write,what would you write?

No wonder all of us would like to fill the lines with things which will add to our happiness, success, prosperity, knowledge and growth, all positive things. Let's keep the content same for every day that is gifted to us and let's fill it with all the positivity we can.

The Route-

When you have a choice to Write; Write it Right.

The word Guru is derived from two words, 'Gu' and 'Ru'. The Sanskrit root "Gu" means darkness or ignorance. "Ru" denotes the remover of that darkness. Therefore one who removes darkness of our ignorance is a Guru.
On this special occasion of Guru Pornima do wish the people who have enlightened your life. They enter our life in many forms the very first being our Parents and God. Then at different stages they meet us as a mentor, a coach, a guide, who contribute to our growth and help us lead a better life.

Happy Guru Pornima.

Think before you say 'MAY'

I May get awarded this year.
I May achieve my targets.
I May get good business.

The Success Route -

Just replace the MAY with a WILL.
MAY will always allow you to STAY where you are.
But WILL , gives you the power and belief to achieve it.

SOW a seed that will help you GROW.

Many a time in life we sow certain seeds within us not knowing how they will grow. But its a must, that we realise and be aware of what we sow. Like if you SOW the seed of EGO it is similar to the seed of Bamboo. You will not realise it, but over years the roots will grow deep & develop strong. And when the bamboo grows it will be so tall that all your other qualities will be invisible & dwarfed by the tall bamboo.
It will grow tall but will never bear any fruits.
It's only use would be after it is cut.

The Success Route -

Think before you SOW- Don't let your EGO Grow.

is liked -

We always admire . When we see anything unique, we get curious about it and try to understand it better. We always like to share and talk about it. Most importantly we value it and try best of our efforts to preserve it.

If we understand how precious unique things are, why do we lack in identifying it within ourselves. We get so busy with our routines that we hardly think about what's unique about us. But the day you understand and identify that unique quality, no wonder you will also be the person who will be valued.

So identify your uniqueness today.That one thing you feel can be talked, shared, valued and preserved. That one things which helps you stand apart from others.

The Success Route -

Mark your uniqueness to get Remarked. .

Fear of failure in the path of , Read this.

Failure is said to be opposite of success but if you actually think failure is the lesson for a better success. But,in the race of life, we tend to link all our success to the materialistic goals we want to achieve - house, car, bank balance, etc.
Our desire for these materialistic things is so high that we forget to enjoy and learn from the journey of success.
And the moment we feel we will be unable to achieve this "materialistic" success, the fear of loss sets in.
This fear is so intense that, it paralyses us and we stop thinking and acting on the path of success. Yes its true that materialistic goals are important but when used as a motivator to achieve success.
If we use them as the only trigger for measuring / achieving success they can be real fatal - both physically as well as emotionally.
This can be better understood with a little flash back of our childhood.
Just think -
- How we learnt to walk ( our first step,then the next and the whole process)
- How we learnt to ride the bicycle (how many times did we get back after a fall)
The only reason why we succeded was since we enjoyed the process, learnt from our fall and had no fear of loss.

The Route-
Learn from the lessons of failure for a better success and enjoy the process to enjoy the Success.
