If you have not read Derek aka @Firstlearn blog on, “Why do I need a business plan?” You can read it here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/firstlearn/blog/why-do-i-nee...

Most of you getting started would not have started with a business plan. You may be “put off” and discouraged should you need a plan to get started.

Surprise, surprise ... The plan has been done for you to get you started on your journey...

GOALS

Remember... goals?

The first item on every plan is setting goals. The first step when you setup your WA account was ...?

Yes, setting goals

Nothing is set in stone so you can change as you travel on this journey, adjusting to your circumstances and environment.

So, you set your goals.

Now the plan...

THE PLAN

The simple plan is the Online Entrepreneur Certification (OEC) training.

This your plan to get you started step-by-step. You would identify your target market, it is called your niche and get started on your journey...

WORK THE PLAN

The missing ingredient in OEC is you.

All you need to add is yourself following the training and taking actions and you will be reflecting on what your business would look like and you would be filling up the blanks for your business.

You may be thinking...

This is too simple and there are no financials...

Of course, what business have no financials?

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Well, once you remove your accountant, it is all about following the money.

What you make? call it income or revenue is the top line.

What you spend to get the top line is expenses... also called the middle line.

The bottom line is your top line minus your middle line which is your PROFIT!

There you have it. Don’t complicate matters. Get going and when you are successful and making so much money... hire an accountant!
