Don't be one of those business owners who fail miserably because they either didn't do a business plan, or they did one solely for the purpose of getting the bank or their relatives to give them money.

Succession Planning, What's Holding Business Owners Back?
Isn't it because nobody has asked them to describe what they want the business to look like?
