Did you know that ~40% of small businesses don't have a business plan? What's it good for? Why do you need one? Can you succeed without one?

A business plan has two main functions: (1) Plot's your destination--where are you headed with your business? (2) It starts to provide the necessary structure for how you get there.

Would you set out on a 5,000 mile roadtrip without first knowing where you're headed or at least roughly how to get there? Maybe.. but that's it's own adventure ;)
