Steve,
That is great to hear. I hear that often about my long-winded emails by those who read. In fact, in my GovCon business, I tell clients I can teach them in 30 days what it took me 30 years to learn. So I can save them alot of time on research and interpretation of regs.
Never heard that only 1 out of 20 new businesses survive without having business plan, but I would believe that. I did not have business plan or even a plan to have a business, however, I do not really recommend to anyone to start a business same way that I did.
Although I did start with the most important ingredients:
#1 - Clients = Companies offering to hire my services.
#2 - Revenue = Payments received to open bank acct.
#3 - Intentions = Help by answering questions online.
#4 - References = Past employers, clients & colleagues.
#5 - Experience = Ability to provide what clients want.
