1
00:00:05,003 --> 00:00:06,003
- Like you've probably heard

2
00:00:06,003 --> 00:00:08,008
from many coaches, teachers, and entrepreneurs,

3
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:11,005
if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

4
00:00:11,005 --> 00:00:12,007
When starting a new business,

5
00:00:12,007 --> 00:00:15,001
there are three questions you need to ask yourself.

6
00:00:15,001 --> 00:00:18,005
One, how am I going to build this business?

7
00:00:18,005 --> 00:00:21,009
Two, how long is it going to take me to achieve my goals?

8
00:00:21,009 --> 00:00:25,001
And three, how much is this going to cost me?

9
00:00:25,001 --> 00:00:27,002
If you're not considering these three areas,

10
00:00:27,002 --> 00:00:28,006
you are essentially winging it,

11
00:00:28,006 --> 00:00:31,000
and that is a sure path to disaster.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,006
Now, before we get started,

13
00:00:32,006 --> 00:00:35,001
I want you to download your business planning worksheet,

14
00:00:35,001 --> 00:00:37,003
which you can find in your resource files.

15
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:39,009
Using this worksheet, you'll be able to take notes,

16
00:00:39,009 --> 00:00:42,004
access examples, and easily follow along

17
00:00:42,004 --> 00:00:45,000
as we move through each segment of creating a business plan.
