Business plan templates

Every woman entrepreneur needs a business plan. At Entrepreneur Goddess, I’m dedicated to bringing you the best of everything you need to succeed.

As part of this mission, we discussed igniting your passion and building a business plan during our Lunch Hour Series: The Path to Self-Employment. In addition, Melani Gordon from gWave Consulting recently discussed the difference between planning and taking action. Without taking action, your plan or idea is no more than a plan or idea in your mind or on paper. It will not get you anywhere.

New business owners need to find a balance somewhere in the middle. If you have already taken action on your idea, the planning phase should be started sooner, rather than later.

To give you a nudge in the right direction, I highly recommend the templates SCORE has provided on their website. They have starter business plans, cash flow, and sales forecast sheets galore. Everything you need is online and free.

Recommendation: Print out your business plan and bring it on the go! While you’re waiting for your next appointment to show at Starbucks, you can whip it out and knock-out a question or two. This will not only save you time, but make the process less daunting.
