‘Men don’t plan to fail; they fail to plan’. This has been a commonplace advisory in many business management consultancy lectures and personal development forums. How do we fail to plan? This has been prevalent especially in both money management and business.

It means the plan will lead to successful implementation and subsequently bring forth profits. There are three key steps for proper planning for a business. Following these will help you achieve a successful business and possibly a lucrative business.
