In business, success often comes down to price. I am not talking about money, but planning, relationships, improvement, customer value and engagement.
While I am a believer in the old saw "if it's worth doing, it's worth planning to do," I am not sure that is 100 percent correct. I do believe that planning, done correctly, raises one's awareness. Sometimes deadlines must be met to keep things on track, and planning helps us keep sight of that. Planning before opening our business helps us avoid some of the pitfalls.
