Foundational Planning 

       It is important to remember that planning is vital to success whether it be from a personal or business perspective.

A strong foundational plan with deep-rooted basic principles can insure that you are moving in the right direction. Here are five (5) foundational basics that should be part of every successful business plan. When you do not neglect these basics and understand their impact, your propensity for success in all endeavors will be firmly set. 

1. First, what are you building?  
2. Second, what is the reason for your business to exist?  
3. Third, what will you measure?  
4. Fourth, how will you go about building your business?
5. Finally, what is the work to be done? 
   
   Always following the foundational basics most often guarantees higher levels of success. You find yourself more directly focused on what really matters: results. When results guide your undertakings, more effective communication is built, synergy grows and this produces greater excitement among people about the possibilities.
