Does new entrepreneur need goal planning help?

[Cheefoo]

I like to plan and get things done on time. I see that there is a good interest on the subject 'goal planning' by students and teens. I am just wondering if startup or new entrepreneur also needs help in goal planning, or does this skill comes natural to a working adult ?

Personally, I see that there's a lot of good tools (some, even free) out there. For example, SMART goals, 90 days goals, 80/20 goals, etc.. But most of them, share with you the overview strategy and does not give you a practical example walk-with-you approach. Any thoughts if this is real need by new entrepreneur or a pen/paper works just fine?
