Don’t ever let those big companies bully you into conceiving that they are greater in excellence in some manner than your small business. They will make an effort to, but never let them get the best of you because the business world is entirely different now than it was 20 years ago. The launching of internet marketing has changed the whole game and the big guys should be filled with fear.

Gone are the days when it was all about how much money you could bring to the table. It used to be that small businesses couldn’t afford to get in the same playing field with the big boys. Now it’s not like that.

I have no earthly idea where to start. I have heard you have to write up business plans, etc. also proposals, mission statements…why? and do I need them ready before I open shop?

Also, where and how do I go about looking into getting state/national grants for small business…I’d thought of small business loans, but my credit is not that great.

Twelve things to do when writing your business plan:

Create a framework for the plan e.g. table of contents. Identify possible appendices, attachments etc. Estimate page lengths for each key section. List main issues and topics to be covered within key sections. Assign work programs based on the framework and lists. Draft all key sections in a logical sequence. Check the preliminary draft for completeness and plug gaps. Stand back and take a detached overview of the draft. Let an outsider or adviser critique the latest draft. Redraft, fine tune and spell check. Write the executive summary and plan’s conclusion. Get an independent assessment of the final draft.
