When you are in the midst of starting a new company, or revamping an old one, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. It seems like a pretty obvious statement but I am still amazed at how many people jump in without that 'plan'.

I'm not just talking about the business plan either. I'm talking about the 'Big Plan'.

This is the plan that will keep you motivated when you are wondering why you ever started the venture in the first place. This plan will keep you moving forward when it looks like the odds are against you.

This is the plan that may be a bit painful to follow in the beginning - because let's face it - it requires you to face the one thing that will stop you if you don't have a 'Big Plan' - FEAR

So here's what the Big Plan needs to answer:

• What am I passionate about?
• What do I want for my life?
• Why do I want this?
• How much money do I really desire and BELIEVE I can make?
• What are my core values? - honestly
• Where do I want to be 10 years from now?
• Who am I really doing this for?

This list is only partial because some of the questions you need to ask yourself are only relevant to you.

But you get the idea.

Without this plan, FEAR will stop you every time.
