Most of us wouldn’t consider setting out on a trip without a map.

Sure, if you start driving without a map, you might have a fun, interesting experience, but you’re probably not going to be able to get to a specific destination.

If making it to your particular destination is important to you, you start your trip by pulling up Google maps and plugging in that address.

But it is amazing how many people think that they can get to their destination without a map when it comes to starting a business.

They have a general idea of what business they want to start or what product they want to sell, but they don't take the time to come up with a plan for how they're going to build a particular business.
