Do I really need a business plan?
Hi there,
Having a business plan is one of those important prerequisites for starting a business that they teach in business school - Right?
But do you really need one? What's the best way to do a business plan? Is there a Chill and Prosper way?
As someone who was never really good at assignments, writing a business plan always felt like boring homework. Plus, my ADHD and procrastination meant I never got around to it.
Maybe you're like me and don't want to take the time to plan because you're too busy taking action.
Please don't procrastinate starting your business because you're waiting for the perfect plan.
It's totally fine not to have a business plan, but you do need to have a rough idea of where you're going, so I've got some alternatives for you.
Listen to today's podcast to learn:
- The best kids' advice I got from my mum and how it applies to business
- A simple approach to finding your niche and getting started
- My recommendations for planning if you're starting out
- Simple goals you can set to help you focus
- How your money blocks will pop up to try and derail your planning process
- How I plan my business with daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.
No form of plan is going to prepare you for everything that's going to come up on your business journey. Sometimes you won't know what you need or don't like until you're in it.
If you have a plan or are a few years into business, it's okay to shift and change.
Having a business plan doesn't mean you're in business. Making money means you're in business, and I promise you can make money with or without a business plan!
Enjoy today's episode.

2024 Live Course Starting Soon
I’m excited to let you know that I have something coming soon that will help you grow your business.
I know how hard it can be to find a mentor who understands your business. Most business gurus teach what they know. But ultimately, what works for them doesn’t automatically work for you. So if you’re following cookie-cutter advice, it can lead to frustration or burnout.
Personally, I’ve wasted thousands of dollars following business advice that just didn’t feel authentic to me. My million-dollar lesson is that you have to build your business around your money personality - and have the courage to do business on your terms.
I’m about to open up my once-a-year business course, where I teach you how to leverage your strengths and make more money using Money Archetypes. I’ll show you how to design your business, create marketing, passive income, grow a team, and more - by doubling down on your strengths and learning to avoid your challenges.
