When You Want a Great Business, Create a The One Page Business Plan(r)
Back in 2000 a major shift in my business occurred when I came across the One Page Business Plan® process. Now, don’t let the simplicity of the name fool you. While the process helps you create a business and marketing plan – its much more.
- Help you diagnosis how every area of your business is doing.
- Clarify your thinking and focus on the elements that are the most critical to your success.
- Test your ideas without having to put large amounts of cash at risk.
- Help you to boost the profits and performance of your small company or department.
- Be ready to be used over and over again.
If you’re on a budget, as many new business owners are, you can purchase the workbook that includes the Entrepreneur Toolkit CD (for PC and MAC use) at your favorite bookstore, although it’s easier to find online. It includes systematic, practical, interactive exercises and templates, worksheets, powerful sales calculators, mini-sales budgets, one page performance scorecards, sample plans, and bonus tools! All created in programs you usually have on your computer — MS Excel and Word files.
If you’re a more seasoned business owner, department manager or executive, you can sit down at your PC to create your plan in courseware called Point, Click, Plan! Your solid draft will be complete in 1-2 hours.
Together with reading the E-myth Revisited, by Michael Gerber, creating a business plan are “mandatory to do’s” for all business owners. Why? because the E-myth shows you what happens when you don’t have a plan and systems and how much better off you’ll be with them. And the One-Page Business Plan processR helps you simply create your plans and systems to monitor your progress. Creating a plan now, will save you hours upon hours worth of your valuable time and will help you make fewer large and costly mistakes.
Isn’t that what you need as a business owner? Systems that work and more time to do what you’re passionate about? Below are 10 key elements of any process. Most are taken from the One-Page Business Plan® workbook, by Jim Horan.
- It helps you choose opportunities more wisely and waste less time because you have a plan in place.
- A single page can contain all the elements you need to tell your employees, board of directors, potential partners or banker where you are taking your business and how you are going to get there.
- The most important reason to have a business plan is to clarify your thinking, regardless of the size of your company.
- Knowing where you’re going creates hope and enthusiasm about the future.
- It facilitates creating and analytical thinking, problem solving, communication, and teamwork.
- It also brings out procrastination, frustration, differences of opinions and possibly anger.
- Somehow writing initiates the transformation from idea to reality.
- Writing allows others to participate in your dream and give you feedback.
- You review it each day to create the day’s priorities and make decisions about your business.

About the Author
An irrepressible entrepreneur, Maria entered the business world at age 14, landed on Wall Street at age 17, and shattered the glass ceiling at age 21. Fiercely determined and keenly insightful, she became a bond trader when female executives were as rare as pink diamonds. Maria spent the next 20 years streamlining corporate operations and generating profits for her employers. Her penchant for dispensing valuable advice became evident as she mentored other women, transforming secretaries into traders.
Looking for a business plan?
I’m looking for an actual business plan (not a template) for a
residential waste removal company. In other words, the business plan
that Waste Management (www.wm.com) or Waste Connections
(www.wasteconnections.com) would have written early on – or, the
business plan that either of these two companies would now find
attractive as an acquisition target some day in the future.
Ideally, I would like to find a plan that was used to actually raise
money from angels or from bankers. Or, on the other end of the
spectrum, I could even use a plan written by an MBA or an undergrad as
part of a school project.
Practically every real waste management business plan available to the
public was written during the operation of the business.
Here are some business plans:
WasteCareSA Business Plan – Northern Alliance Incorporated
http://www.wrwma.com/businessplan.htm
Greater Dandenong Waste Management Business Plan
http://www.greaterdandenong.com/upload/0203wastemanagement.pdf
Public Services Department Business Plan – 2 year plan
(this business plan contains more information than just waste
management but the sections are divided clearly)
http://www.publicservicesdepartment.gov.je/Information/Documents/R%202002-4%20BPfinalversion.rtf.doc
This business plan, written by department of energy, is for
radioactive waste management. However, it is very extensive and there
are many useful aspects of this business plan.
