Making a business plan
I’ve often mentioned the importance of having a business plan before starting any type of business and I have several resources on how to do.
In the StartupNation website to our attention, however, that before making a business plan must make a plan as a preliminary step of living and try to get our business plan consistent with our Plan of Life.
The ideal is thus to find a perfect synchrony between what we think is our Life Plan and our Business Plan.
Perhaps the plan mentioned StartupNation Life can be compared to what I call Finding the True Purpose of Our Lives.
That is, one must stop in order to analyze life to where you want to go and why is that we are planning to make and develop a business idea.
Personally I believe that motivation can never be the money by the money itself. The money will always be a means to achieve something and that is why born entrepreneurs never stop doing new things for more money they may have.
Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder, for example, could have retired long ago home to rest and live off their millions but just not doing it for the money was never his motivation. Usually the strong motivation among the big businessmen is their spirit to create a new world that is better.
There is a mystical feeling that only they can do and that is why we go on and on inventing or trying to do new things.
If the reasoning of Steve Jobs would have been only money, maybe just with your first million or their first 10 million had gone to rest.
And to you … what is your plan of life? What is the motivation in your life? What is your true purpose in life?
