A successful plan starts with asking the right questions. #70secondCEO 

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Next, the business plan. Who are we? What is our product? Or service or idea? Who are our customers? What is our market? Who is our competition? Where will we operate? How will we advertise? How will we market ourselves? What is our unique selling proposition? What is our business identity? What size will our company be? And what size will our company eventually become? How long do we plan to stay in business? How much money do we intend to make? Will we operate on a fiscal year or a calendar year? What is our corporate structure? What industry will we operate in? What are the strategies that will govern our overall operations? What are the tactics we will use to implement our strategy? What work needs to be done? And by whom? and by when? Who is on our advisory board? How will we build our executive team? These are some questions that you'll ask as you formulate your business plan.
