Since I work in the marketing area most of the time, I see it quite often. A plan is a living document that you use to make decision from. Does not mean you can't change it, it just is a great reminder not to fly by the seat of your pants so often! Thanks for adding this Michiel.

You need to write a business plan before you dive into any business for it is the foundation of what you are about to embark upon.nnBut there is another huge mistake people do regarding business plans, and I would like to share it with you and your readers!nnPeople forget to revisit their business plan......My wife and I have run our own business for years. And we had a business plan but what we didnu2019t plan for in the text was the economic turn our country is undergoing.nnSo we went back to our business, made edits, and added how to earn profits under such circumstances in it. nnOnce we did that then the profits started flowing again. Hope your readers remember this cardinal rule: always go back and revisit the plan. Otherwise, you'll be paying for it in the long run.
