A business plan is what a foundation is to a home. This means that without an appropriate business plan, chances are your business won’t make it. However, when we think of a business plan, many of us think of a daunting, lengthy process that may force us to figure everything about our business beforehand. Yet, it doesn’t’t have to be.
Creating a business plan for your business can be daunting. For many business owners, especially new business owners, creating a comprehensive business plan can seem like a challenge. Which is exactly why so many entrepreneurs tend to skip this step.
However, what many of us don’t realize is that creating a business plan for your business is the best way to ensure that your vision, purpose and business process are clearly thought through. Neither does it have to be an overwhelming task. While there are many intimidating business plan templates out there, remember that the point is to gain clarity over your business and devise a feasible plan.
Here are 5 easy steps to start with a simple business plan:
1. Your Mission
What is your business’ mission? In other words, what is the “why” behind your business? How do you plan on helping people?
Asking yourself these questions will help you determine the mission behind your business. The reason why this is so important is because your mission serves as the foundation to your business. Without a mission that resonates with you and with your ideal audience/clients, you lack the necessary clarity to push your idea forward.
My mission is to help women do work they love. It stemmed from my own need to change my career and life so I could do work I love and build a fulfilling career. What is yours?
To Do: Determine the “why” behind your business, and spell it out with as much specificity and detail as possible.
2. Your Strategy
What specific problems will you solve? How are you going to help your ideal audience and clients? This will be translated in the products and/or services that you will create.
The clearer you are about the problems you will be solving for people, the more successful your business will be. People are attracted to solutions that benefit them. By identifying issues they already deal with and bringing about the appropriate solutions, you are creating a market for yourself.
To Do:
· Identify your ideal client, i.e. the person that you will be helping. Draw a mental picture of who he/she is. You can even give her a name, personality, address, etc.
· Brainstorm all the problems that your ideal client may have.
· Pick the problems that your business will help in solving.
3. Your Marketing:
How will you promote your products and/or services? How will you manage to get new clients?
It’s one thing to have a solid foundational mission and create amazing products and services. However, without the proper marketing, the right people will never know about it and be able to buy from you. One of the biggest mistakes I made when I started in business was to under-estimate the power of great marketing. For many businesses, it’s the make-or-break element of your entire strategy.
To Do:
· Brainstorm all the ways that you can promote your business (word of mouth, social media, etc)
· Pick at least three (3) ways that you will focus on to begin.
4. Your Tribe
Who are the people who will support you as you build your business? These people may be your family and friends, as well as close associates and business partners. It’s important to remember that it takes a village to build a successful business. As such, you must surround yourself with the right support system.
Resist the temptation to isolate yourself! You need people, the right people, that is.
To Do:
· Make a list of all the people in your personal and professional/business network who can help you in carrying out your mission (these are also people you can trust and who can identify with your purpose)
· Make a plan to start reaching out to at least 3 of these people and involving them in your business
· Don’t forget to keep networking and expand your circle as well
5. Your Finances
What are your business financial goals? What are your monthly profit objectives? In turn, how many sales/clients do you need in order to achieve this level of profit?
A business eventually has to make money. While the beginnings of your business may not be as profitable as full-blown businesses, you must focus on creating growing profitability.
To Do:
· Determine how much profit you want to make after subtracting all your business expenses
· Translate this in terms of sales and clients
· Make a plan to get all these clients and realize the necessary sales for the next month
Starting a business is a dream for many working women and men. The prospect of being your own boss and creating a legacy that outlasts us is indeed very attractive. It also means having more control over your hours, more flexibility and the possibility to create the life of your dreams. Most importantly, you are in control of your income, instead of letting someone else decide what you are worth.
However, one of the reasons why so many of us don’t realize this dream is because we may not know how to even get started. If you’re wondering how to put all the pieces together to start and launch your own business, here are 7 things to get you going:
An Idea Targeting a Need in the Market
Great businesses start with great business ideas. But what makes a business idea great? Target a need in the market of your choice. What do your target or ideal clients need that they can’t find in the market? You can start by identifying a need that you may have and know others have as well. If you can fill a need in the market, you’ve identified a potential business.
A Business Plan
After identifying your business idea, having a business plan is the next step. While a business plan may sound like a complicated concept, it’s really about understanding the purpose of your business, as well as your product(s) and how you will promote and market them. You will also need to determine who will be part of your team. Last but not least, clearly understanding how you will make money and achieve a profit is crucial. One of my favorite resources to create a business plan is provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
A Legal Setup
It’s important to ensure that you have the appropriate legal resources and paperwork in place. When setting up your business, you want to Having your business properly and legally registered, and ensuring that your legal filings are completed accurately and timely. A great resource to use to set up your business structure and complete your required filings is LegalZoom.
Some Money
Starting a business can be costly. While you may be able to save on a few expenses by working from home and opting for the DIY way, you’ll still have to invest some money into your business.
You may need money to build a website, print out business cards, or even to get some basic materials and tools. However, I always recommend starting as inexpensively as possible. Don’t spend money on an expensive website or fancy working space. Instead, start building your network and business presence first.
Some Space
As mentioned earlier, you can save by working from home. However, you may want to dedicate a specific and separate area of your home for your business. This is so you can actually focus on your work and not be victim to distractions around you.
If you must invest in a working space, make sure that it is within your budget in the medium to long-term. You can also opt for co-working spaces if it’s too challenging or impossible to work from home.
Online Presence
In the age of social media, having a business online presence is important. However, do not spread yourself too thin by spending too much time online. Pick two to three social media networks you are most comfortable with and that provide you with the most exposure and influence.
However, you should also focus on building a strong offline presence. One of the best ways to do this is to build an email list to reach out to your followers directly via email. Remember that when social platforms like Facebook or Twitter change their algorithms or disappear entirely, you stand to lose all your following, so act accordingly.
Some Support
Starting a business is challenging, and it can also be lonely. While few people may understand what you’re trying to do, strive to build a supportive network around you. It may be your family and friends, or other business women and men who understand and share in your mission.

Our Woman of Impact feature presents women who are breaking barriers in their careers, businesses and lives. These women are inspiring us to do our best work and live our best lives.
Our Woman of Impact is Ronne Brown, a wife, mother, coach, author, speaker, entrepreneur and overcomer. Hailing from Washington D.C, she has influenced thousands of entrepreneurs to live big, dream big and achieve success on their own terms. She went from being a janitor while pregnant to building a 7-figure salary through her entrepreneurial ventures. She teaches women to build successful businesses through her Millionaire’s Academy organization and her non-profit High Heels High Goals. Read her entire bio here.
Tell us a bit about you and what you do. I understand you’re a multi-preneur with many businesses and income streams
I’m a full-time mom, wife, and entrepreneur. I’m at a place in my life where I’ve leveraged the things I’m passionate about. I’m also an influencer. My passions are beauty, fashion and teaching entrepreneurship to people all over the world. I endorse a product line that I believe in, which is a beauty line. I also have my own boutique, called HHGLuxxe. In addition to that, I’m a speaker and I teach and educate a lot of women on how to leverage their gifts.
Ronne Brown – Founder of HHHG Luxe – Courtesy: ronneb.com
What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?
It was really tapping into the things I love. As I grew up, there wasn’t really anyone saying: “Do what you love”. It was always: “Do what pays you the most money, do what everyone else is doing, do what people have experienced success in.” So I wanted to see if it was possible for me to do what I really enjoyed, instead of settling working in Corporate America and living that cookie-cutter life. I was fired because I had kids and had to go to doctors’ appointments and things like that, and I really could not keep a job. I got tired of giving someone else control of my life, my future, my income, and putting them in a position where they could determine if my children would be able eat or have a roof over their head a month or two down the line if they felt as though I wasn’t a good fit for their business.
What does a typical day look like for you?
My days are different. It really depends on the day of the week, because I’m a mother of four, so my days can really change. Traditionally, I read my Word late at night. I’m different from most people, as most people read their Word in the morning. If you follow me on social media, you’ll see me posting the Word I read later at night. When I get up in the morning, I map my day out. I look at my agenda, and start with of my income-producing activities. I try to get my workout in, then I make myself breakfast, start smashing my goals, you know, my honey-to-do list. That’s how I tackle my day.
Do you feel like your faith is an integral part of your business? What do you advise other women in terms of combining their faith with their business or career?
I believe my faith is an integral part of my success. I know that God is 100% responsible for where I am. I also know that His Grace has been super sufficient when it comes to my life. I’ve overcome so much, and He has literally brought me through some of the things that I’ve never thought I could overcome. In addition to that, He’s given Me Grace and allowed me to start over, and really excel in my life. So I think that including and continuously giving Him the Glory for everything is very important. I think in the traditional days, people were taught not to express their religion and their faith in their business. I think that as this revolution happens, we have to be able to stand up and say what we stand for and who we stand for. I know Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, I know that and if someone doesn’t want to do business with me, He will send me the people who are right for me.
Can you tell us about the challenges and hurdles you overcame before being successful in your business?
I went through many things that almost every woman goes through, in life and in business. It’s not just a business thing, it’s life. In life, we go through so much, and it’s truly just a way for us to learn more and more about ourselves, and how to respond to different things. I’ve gone through losing my job, and just really being on the verge of giving up. I’ve settled in my life for things and positions that I knew I deserved better and more in. I’ve dealt with heartbreak and betrayal, that so many people go through. I think the most important thing is knowing that you’re not the only one, I’ve been there.

Now that you’re on the other side, what’s the best part about what you do?
The thing is, you’re never really on the other side. Your income may increase, but so do your responsibilities, so does people’s dependency on you, that increases as well. All of it never goes away. The tests get harder, the obstacles come, the hurdles get bigger, and you have to work harder to overcome the things that you were struggling with when you were making $30,000 a year. And now you may be making a couple of hundred thousand a year…
I want to make this very clear in this interview. Just because you start making more money, doesn’t mean the problems go away. The more money you make, the more obstacles you have to overcome, the more people you start to question and begin to reveal themselves. You’re at a place where you have no tolerance for the bullcrap, for procrastination. So the problems don’t go away. The more money, the more problems. But God won’t put you in any situation that He doesn’t feel you can handle. What happens is, the more money you make, the more problems you have to overcome.
How do you face these challenges and the uncertainty of being an entrepreneur and having your own business?
I think about going to the grave without doing the things that I’ve always wanted to do. Taking all of this to the grave. Are you really going to take all of this greatness to the grave?
What resources would you recommend for other women looking to emulate what you do and get into entrepreneurship?
I recommend the Holy Bible, and if you’re new to it, I definitely suggest that you download it in the ERV(Easy-to-Read) version. Another thing I recommend is peace and quiet, meaning taking the time to get in a quiet place and clear your mind, because that helps me often.
I also suggest social media, making sure that you’re on the most popular social media channels. Right now the top two are Facebook and Instagram. I also suggest email automation, that you can use to build a list and keep your contacts. You can be on Mailchimp or Aweber for instance. In addition to that, I also suggest to anyone listening that you start providing quality content to your followers. What are you giving them that keeps them coming back to your page every day? Making that connection and finding out what your audience wants to hear and see, is very important. Study your following, study the people coming to your page, ask them what they want to hear and see, and deliver accordingly.
What do you do for fun, after you put in all this work and push through your limits?
I love to dance, I love music, and I love trap music as well. You can probably find me somewhere listening to some rap music, some 90’s R&B music. I’m a dance machine, I love to have parties at my house. I’m that person.
What do you have on repeat these days?
I have Kendrick Lamar on repeat right now. I’m really falling in love with this young lady Sza. I love Solange, I’m getting in that peaceful place where I like to play it. I love 2Chains as well. And then, you’ve gotta have a little praise and worship, I’m old school. I always have the WOW 2017 Gospel Hits. It’s really mixed up in here (laughs).
What kind of services do you provide women entrepreneurs?
I do an event called “Round Table with Ronne B”. I also have a non-profit called “High Heels, High Goals”, so sometimes we do events and give back to women’s businesses. Mostly, you will see me marketing and sharing products I love.
You can also check out my GirlCEO planner, because I’m rolling out a lot of tools to help women be more successful with their business ventures. That’s really what I’m working on right now, in addition to sharing the beauty and wellness products I believe in.
What advice would you give your 20-year old self?
Keep your legs closed (laughs). The reason why I say that is that getting intimate is such an emotional decision. I’ve seen it upset so many women, myself included, in their lives and work. I would definitely tell myself to dream bigger, and not to put any limitations on my life. This is not the end, there is so much more ahead. At any given moment, you can rewrite the book. There were definitely times when I said to myself: “It’s over. I screwed up.” This is when you have to tell yourself: “It’s not easy, get over yourself!”
Where can we find you?
You can go to ronneb.com. You can also go to my Instagram: @ronneb. In addition to that, you can check out my new GirlCEO planner, at Iamagirlceo.com. Be sure to stop by and say hello.

Side hustles are great, but managing them can be a challenge. In this video, I share 4 tips to manage your own side hustle, according to your priorities and lifestyle.
When I decided to transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship, I wasn’t sure how to go about it, for the most part.
