The number one thing you can do to ensure that your
business has a chance to succeed on a lean budget is to
start with a solid strategic framework, or foundation. Many
would-be Entrepreneurs believe that I'm talking about a
business plan. Sadly, most Entrepreneurs do not have a
written (let along well thought out) business plan. And while
I believe business plans are critically important, the strategic
foundation I'm talking about here should happen BEFORE
the business plan. In other words, this work needs to be
done FIRST.
