What Is A Plan Anyway?

"A series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished"


There are plans that take months (years even) and plans that are bit a more rapid than that. The business plan for Hotmail was written overnight by one of the founders Sabeer Bhatia. It was enough to secure finances to hire programmers to create the webmail service that was later sold for $400 million to Microsoft. Others are not quite so quick; taking management teams, analysts and advisors months producing financial projections, pie charts and graphs.


But if you don't require investment to get your idea up and running then maybe you only need the time it takes to drink a cup of hot tea to get your plan down on paper?
