I suscribe to the email edition so I do not always stop by your site,. Howver your list of suggestions compelled me to add something I always like to put in my business plans and that is a risk analysis - identify the risk and likelihood of the risk happening as well as show what steps will be taken to mitigate that risk. Same holds true for opportunity. Realistically - what is the probability of an event. When I work with people on these topics, without fail they are overly opptimistic that opportunities will happen and that risks will not. By charting the likelihood and spelling it out, it present a more realistic picture. Hi Tim, I greatly enjoy reading your blog. I suscribe to the email edition so I do not always stop by your site,.
