           Whenever you do something, you need to have a plan. In most cases this is true, but when it comes to business, not having a plan can mean not having a business. We all know that businesses are designed to make money. Even if businesses do not see a gigantic return on startup, most proprietors are content with seeing a steady return that can grow to be substantial in their businesses lifecycle.
