It addresses key factors that leaders need to keep top of mind.

It takes work.

It takes the same amount of prep work as a 30-40 page plan.

The difference is that all that planning is compacted into a consumable document.

The most important thing: Make your plan accessible.

There are YouTube videos and templates that can guide you too.

Whether just starting out, or already launched and growing, a one page business plan is invaluable.

It shapes your thinking and helps you share with employees and other stakeholders.

Use it to communicate your vision and your path to success.
