What I have come to learn as a business coach is that business plans don't have to be long to be good. In fact, a single page can contain all the essential elements you need to show where you're taking your bookkeeping business and how you're going to get there.

Goal setting is crucial to the success of any business, but is particularly important for entrepreneurs in the bookkeeping service business who are distracted with multiple priorities. Goals direct actions, give us something to aim for, and serve as a yardstick for measuring our bookkeeping business's success.
