Building better business plan

Sam¹ called me fanatically, “Sachin, I have decided to quit my job and start a business. I have heard many stories where successful entrepreneurs said they didn’t have any plan for starting a business. I am also thinking on same line of not to have a plan, what do you think?” Tina’s message on WhatsApp was “Sachin, my company’s growth has stagnated. I have been assigned a task of coming out with ideas to put our company again on growth path.” Jenny was complaining through LinkedIn message that “I can’t take this stress of pushing my company’s business plan anymore. It seems, I am the only one who is interested in it and nobody else cares about it. In a top management review meeting, I am always questioned about progress of business plan but those who should support the business plan activities are not questioned!” Julia said in an email “Although we are part of Government, our superiors now want better results. Their demands are like the ones you have in a large Company. But we are a Municipal Corporation, we are not a business. What can I do?” Sid in a Facebook message said “The Non-Government Organization (NGO) I work is spread across the world. We deal with Governments, Governments agencies, businesses, and so on. Now my boss is demanding results in a scenario where I can’t predict results. The situation is so ‘business’ like that I don’t consider anymore that I work with a ‘NGO’.”
