It was a major group project in my Professional Development class in massage school. I took a class on it in college. I still have the book from said class in the very room where I sit writing this. I spend countless hours contemplating business and marketing matters (even for one that isn't mine) and making plans and having ideas. All this, and I've never actually written a business plan for myself.
I know, it's dumb.
Why? Well, primarily because I don't write the stuff down. I do carry a small notebook in my purse for jotting things down, but I feel like everything in my head requires a full letter page. I don't really have many notepads lying around when I think of this stuff, so the form I'm most comfortable "thinking" in doesn't happen. I could type it all up, but I don't brainstorm very well while looking at a screen, even though it's much faster and and more efficient for recording thoughts.
Again, I know, it's dumb.
But as I do more research and learn more about what has worked for other people, I do feel like I'm getting a better grip on what's really worth having and what the possibilities are for the future. This is something I haven't experienced before, which I think is another reason I've never written anything down. All my ideas felt too half-baked, so I didn't think they were worth writing down. This is changing, so I assure you, I will start writing things down. A lot of it is goals and ideas for the future and for making my practice certifiably awesome.
So stay tuned!
