I find it very surprising that I didn't find a post on how to write a business plan on this forum. Therefore this post. :p

I found a very good site with information on writing business plans:
Free Sample Business Plans and Business Plan Software

I highly recommend it to write a business plan. It is not only important for regular businesses but also for an online business. All is it for your own, it gives you clarity, direction, goals,...

Remember:

PREPARATION IS HALF THE VICTORY!!

LOVE, Light & Peace
