Do you remember playing backyard football? The offense would huddle up a few yards from the ball. The play caller, with his back to the defense, would draw up the play on his t-shirt. “You go down and out on this side, you hit a post from the left, you…”

Most Small Business Owners have a general vision where they want to go. But rarely will they have a business plan in writing that outlines the interactions between Marketing, Sales, Operations, People and Processes.
