I Wish I Would Have...
When I first started I just joined one program after another hoping that the program would be the answer to my income problems. I wish I would have just started with my business plan before anything else. It would have saved me a bundle of money.
A Business Plan Is Paramount To Success
Back when I did not have a written business plan, it was easy to get derailed by a shiny object. I am not going to lie it was very difficult for me. I went online to learn how to write a business plan, and 14 days later I had something I could work with. The plan became a lot easier to write when I wrote it as if I were asking for funding from a bank or an investor. When a person reads it, the true test of a good business plan should explain everything about your business (product or service, supply chain, customer base, budget, sales projections, etc.) :-)

That's an interesting angle. I've never really done a business plan, but I always write my goals down. Every year, I start with the 3 things I want to accomplish that year and then break them down day by day.
I have a gut feeling we are talking about the same thing, I am talking from a beginner's point of view, but you are a 20+ year veteran of internet marketing so your goal (business) planning stage is just adding to your CTP Empire :-)
I agree having a plan helps keep goals clear.
I am still working on this. I also have joined many many programs.
Deciding which ones to promote can be a little confusing when you belong to a lot of sites.
Having a business plan can also be a way of making priorities.
Great post!
I was in a similar place not too long ago. I only promote programs or sites that I am using in my everyday life. If I am not using it I am not promoting it. This simplifies everything. I only want to promote sites, services, products, and or programs that give me excellent daily value.
Building a plan is something people need in more than just a business. I find that having a plan and maybe even some goals helps you progress towards getting everything done.
That is true my plans often include personal goals :-)
Creating a plan is very important for the smooth running and long-term focus of your business.
After reading your blog posts I know you are a person of planning :-)
This makes perfect sense. I am sure if we can start out with a proper business plan, it would prevent us from hopping from one program to another.
Having a proper business plan to start with, we would know exactly what we want and what we are looking for instead of hopping on the internet and just see what is available, taking the first shiny offer that comes our way...
