We have all heard the quote...

You know...

The one that says, "When you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

So with that being said...how do you plan your business as an entrepreneur?

Do you take the time every three months to lay out a calendar and figure out where you are going for the new quarter?

If you do it this way, how do you think about your business, and create a plan for it in the coming months or year?

What drives your decisions to choose what you will be doing, and/or focusing your time effort and attention on?

Do you account for variability in sales volume?

If so...how do you do this, and how does that drive your choices and decisions going forward?

This is more of an open ended question, where the questions I asked above are a small sampling of the ones I could have added to it.

In your reply, you don't necessarily have to answer the questions verbatim, but please feel free to share what you do to create a solid plan for your business on a quarterly and yearly basis.

Here are more idea/questions you can ask yourself to help you in your reply: (What do you look at? What do you pay attention to? What drives your decisions?)

As an entrepreneur myself I have my own version of planning out my business, but would love to hear from other entrepreneurs in this community how they plan their business when running a successful operation.

I look forward to the conversation!
