Tim Meadows Smith posted "Before you have customers you are not a business owner, you are at best a vision holder."  
So the question for many just starting out really focuses on how to become a business owner.  I recently posed the following question within my networks:
"When a business owner is brand new with zero clients and only a handful of family personal contacts, what should be done first to generate new business?"
The response was tremendous.  This show recognizes in appreciation of the business people who provided tips, tools and helpful information for business start-ups and professionals new to the business market.

How to get a new business off the ground successfully?  The general theme reiterated by business people is that planning is key, having a vision is paramount and being able to communicate and reach out to folks based on that vision will make the needed difference.
This audio also includes a few points that I want to share about the importance of a business plan.  I stress that a business plan is only as important as it is effective.
