Entrepreneurs are people that are always full of business ideas. The ideas are something that pushes forward all businesses. You, as an entrepreneur, maybe don’t have those ideas at a time when you have prepared your business plan. If you know that those ideas will increase your business success, you need to cover those business ideas into your business plan.

You can’t expect that your business plan will be 100% accurate because it is based on historical data, analysis, and forecasts for the future. Mistakes will be something normal and that is reasonable. But, mistakes, because you are not measuring the implementation of your business plan, are not reasonable and can bring catastrophic effects on your business.

If you succeed in implementing the pieces of advice I will give you here, you will not only implement improvements of the current and next planning processes, but also the improvement in your whole business processes.
