   Hi all,

   Matt from Sharabang Music is one of 3 start-up businesses to feature on business reality website http://www.inafishbowl.com.

   Matt, along with the other entrepreneurs, posts blogs, videos and tweets about his business as it happens. When a blog brings up an interesting question or topic, I post it to forums like this so that we can get advice for the entrepreneurs but also because the topics tend to be quite general and the discussion may help other businesses too.

   Matt's latest blog post is centred around the idea of a business plan - how much of it do you launch at once?

   http://www.inafishbowl.co.uk/sharabang/2010/03/how-much-of-my-business-plan-do-i.html

   Like many other entrepreneurs, Matt's got so many ideas. But when should he launch his business? When he has added all of his ideas and has everything in place? Or should he launch now and add to the business as he goes?

   Does anyone have any advice or thoughts?

   I suggest you launch NOW Matt and "why is that" you may well ask.

   Many years ago I read that any plan can not and indeed should not be set in stone.

   Your plan is a guide, a road map if you will but you know what it's like trying to drive here in the UK, roads works, traffic lights, mile after mile of cones slowing you down then all of a sudden you get a great stretch of virtually desterted motorway and off you go like a rocket.

   That's how your business will move along, one minute you're going great guns and the next you're blocked or slowing down or even stopping but if you've got a half decent plan it won't matter too much becasue you still know that you're heading in the right direction and still making headway.

   So, if you've got a half decent plan, doesn't have to be complete, doeesn't have to be great becasue if you're going to wait until everything is just perfect guess what? It NEVER will be, there will always be something not quite right, something not quite ready, always somethiong just enough to stop you.

   Get started now and adjust your course and your plan as you go. Go on... What are you waiting for?

   ATB, Paul
