  3. Developing a Business Plan • Collect ideas: Inspiration can strike at any time, so carry a notepad • Begin with basics: customers, features, channels, milestones, benchmarks • Find inspiration from real firms and entrepreneurs. If you have trouble understanding or finding attributes of your business, you can easily borrow them • Know your customers. For a business to be believable, the customers have to be believable and realistic • Limit the breadth of your business • Decide what is the reason for this business, and why you are passionate about • Organize your thoughts. After you have prepared the basic elements, lay out a time-line in some way to help you decide what should happen when. • Start writing. Depending on how thoroughly you’ve sketched out your customers, products and channels, the actual design may simply be one of choosing the right words. • Come out swinging. The first page —some would say the first sentence—of any business plan should grab an investor’s or customer’s attention and leave him/her wanting more. • Keep building: a business is dymanic; you are never finished. This is the role of adaptive execution • Let the business plan "write itself“ by asking the right questions, by listening to customers and investors, by experimenting, failing and learning • Succeed or fail quickly, revise and innovate
