Create a Life Plan Before Making Your Business Plans

I see too many entrepreneurs rush to build a business

without taking the requisite time to understand their goal.

I see too many entrepreneurs rush towards growth

without understanding that growth is a choice.

Growth typically requires outside capital.

Growth typically requires getting bigger.

Growth typically requires giving up control.

This isn’t a one-track path.

For inspiration, read Small Giants by Bo Burlingham.

He makes a case for

companies that chose to be great instead of big.

Starting a business is a means to an end.

It’s a means to the life you want to create

for yourself and the people around you.

Start with your life plan before your business plan.
