Many people are tempted to omit a business plan. In their excitement they prefer to just jump in and begin without doing the proper research and taking the time to determine if their dream is an actual possibility. Jesus said, For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? (Luke 14:28 NASB) Solomon added, Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. (Proverbs 16:3 NIV) Engaging in diligent planning is a key step toward successes. We will cover three elements of a plan:

1. Your vision (the picture of what your business will be like),

2. Your financial plan, and   

3. What action steps you will take to make the plan a reality.

First, if you have a burning passion to own your own business, chances are you have what it takes to make that happen. Contrary to what the average person might think, owning your own business isn't about being extremely intelligent, or talented, or even wealthy.

While those are great assets, there are multitudes of people who had all those things going for them and more and yet failed miserably in the arena of starting their own business. Statistically, 50% of all new businesses that begin this year will fail. In fact, more horror stories have been told about sincere, bright people who had lofty goals and a great work ethic, ending up physically, psychologically and financially bankrupt than we all care to recall.

Sadly, if they had just been aware of the right steps to take, they would have been spared a most unhappy ending to pursuing their dream.

Instead of fearing you may end up a negative statistic, wouldn't it be comforting to know you are in the middle of God's will? That you have His complete support, guidance, and help every step of the way? Is that possible? The answer to that question is a resounding YES!

The principles I've discovered are not difficult to learn and implement. They are based solely on God's order and way of doing things. And since His ways are always perfect, you can feel assured you are being positioned for God's best when you follow His directions.

After all, it is God's desire that you succeed and He has gone to great lengths to present the principles you need to do just that.
