Wealth Building Starting Today

If you don’t know where you are going (i.e. have a roadmap), then how do you expect to get there?  Do you want to leave to chance? To sheer luck? Running, expanding or starting a business without a business plan is like trying to drive from New York to Chicago for the first time without a roadmap or MapQuest!  Business planning gives you a path to follow, otherwise, you are just guessing.  In running or starting a business, the learning curve is short before you run out of resources and are forced to close.  Therefore, a business plan helps you set up a sound framework, model and strategy ahead of time, as well as, address potential problems and threats, so that you can capably run a business.  If you don’t have a system in place to deal with problems and you don’t have a sound strategic plan in place, you will find yourself needlessly sidetracked by working “in” the business instead of “on” the business. Moreover, you will miss a lot of opportunities that may come your way if you don’t have a system in place to identify them! 

A Business Plan will save you a lot of time and money.  Careful planning ahead of time will help you wisely budget your resources and significantly minimize the time you spend assessing threats, problems, obstacles and opportunities.

The beautiful thing about a business plan is that it actually creates the future of your business, as you want it to be. It gives you more control over what future success will come. More importantly, it gives you a great process to grow the future business you desire, whether that is a start up, acquisition, expansion or build out. To be sure a business plan process can’t predict everything and business markets change very quickly and often; however, a good business plan system puts a platform in place to effectively deal with such unpredictability. Otherwise, you will find yourself lost and just guessing with out a system in place to define what is going on and how to deal with market changes, obstacles and opportunities. It also helps to predict what positive market advances are occuring so you can take advantage of them before your competition does. 

A business plan is an actual guide to starting, acquiring, expanding, building and managing a business.  It is a step by step process that will guide you through the complexities and intricacies of building a successful company. Business school will teach you something about business planning, an MBA will teach you a little more, but most good business planning experience comes from doing and learning from others who have gone before you.  Find a good business plan mentor!

If you need to raise funds for your business venture or project, a well thought out business plan is the very best tool available to achieve the mix and amount of funds your business requires.  A good business planning process will actually determine and design financial structures which specifically address your funding requirements. Utilize a planning process to develop and design a financial structure customized to your particular company’s requirements.  When times are tough in your business, industry or loaning market, a good funding plan will give you a fighting chance of obtaining the badly needed funding.

A business plan is a fantastic communicating tool.  It establishes a companywide system so that you can effectively communicate with your executives, managers, employees, shareholders, investors, lenders, customers, potential customers, markets, suppliers, on down the line.  So many companies fail because effective communication was significantly hampered by assets and people doing contrary things.  Effective strategic planning within the business planning process establishes strong communication ties, links and systems so that all the fore mentioned human variables can come together in a directional, well coordinated strategy for success.

Nothing stays the same from one day to the next in this global, fast tracked business world.  Because of this constant change, your business will quickly fall behind and suffer without having a good business plan in place.  A plan puts a system in place to identify and address changes in the market place so you can proactively seize and turn them into opportunities.  Without a forward thought system in place, changes in your market place can quickly become insurmountable problems and obstacles.  A business plan empowers you to deepen these changes into opportunities and increased profitability.

Operating a company without a well developed business plan is just like operating a car blindfolded, driving down an expressway in LA.  You wouldn’t blindfold yourself and drive down a busy expressway would you?  Why would you do that with your business, future and money?

Abundance Prosperity is a term that implies surplus opulence, meaning bountiful supply of money and the luxury that it brings along, like beautiful houses and high-tech cars, jewelleries and modern gadgets, the best job available in the market, great looks and everything that man can desire for, getting plentifully in his life.

The words abundance and prosperity are inter-related in such a way that one is the cause of the other. While, abundance of desirable objects can make a person prosper, it can also be said that when a man prospers he gets his desirable things abundantly.

Now the question that arises is, how can a man attain abundance prosperity in his life? If we probe deeply we will find that the only aim of an individual is to achieve abundance prosperity and nothing but this is the main reason behind his studies, his career path and all the decisions that he takes in life.

We all know that the power of human mind is impossible to gauge. If one can control the subconscious mind and direct powers to it, then he can achieve almost anything in the universe. Thus the question arises whether human mind can accomplish abundance prosperity as well. We can find the answer in two modern concepts known as ‘Law of Attraction’ and ‘Cosmic Ordering’

The modern concept, Law of Attraction states that when a person wants something badly enough, he has to believe that the object of his desire will reach him. Once he starts believing this, his positive energies will work toward attracting his desirable object from the universe, which would then manifest in his real life. So it can be put this way that thoughts are the creators of our destinies, and we get what we believe in.

For example, if becoming the head of the organization is something you desire the most in your life which you think would result in abundance prosperity, then according to this law you need to truly believe from the core of your heart that this object of desire is coming your way and you will become the head in the near future.

When the man envisions himself in the most powerful position that he wants to accomplish, he automatically directs all his energies on his desire. As a result his energies charge up and pull the object of his desire from the inestimable energy of the cosmos which thereby manifests in his real life.

The philosophy of cosmic ordering, on the other hand believes that the person has already achieved his desirable object. According to this philosophy, the moment one starts visualizing himself to be the head of the company, he should let his energies and emotions like elation, enthusiasm, sense of accomplishment etc, flow freely which in turn would fuse with the profound energies of the universe and attract the desirable object to happen in his real life. Therefore it is observed in these two theories, that our mind alone has the power to craft our destiny and take it towards abundance prosperity.

During our drive to Texas for our relocation I was scanning stations for something to listen to, when upon nearing Dallas I picked up some financial radio shows! By the time I was in Dallas I was screaming at the radio. Yes, screaming! It really makes me mad when so called financial people …
