You can knock a business plan off for a bank or VC in a few days ...... but

if you want to do a proper one for yourself it's never out of your

mind.  If it's a pain to do, worry!  Profits can be happy accidents but

maybe they come from sound plans too (more often?).


Do I detect the net marketing world slowly adding strategic planning to its

rattle bag?
