A Week-Long Process Started Two Days Ago
This is my third business plan as an author; it does get easier... and more exciting.
Starting from scratch was a challenge.
I like my situation better now; I have a better starting point in terms of drafting the document itself as well as some of the self-coaching tools I use.
I described the process I follow in my book, Author Business Plans Made Easy (available here from Amazon).
I’ll have a semi-final draft (which I will be operating from) by January 4th, the first Business Monday of the New Year. I’ll finish polish the plan as I work with it, by the end of the month.

A Word of Advice
I use a business planning year that's based on my fiscal year, which is also my tax year.
My first business plan began October 1st, 2013. I revised it and re-adopted it, effective that January 1st, 2014, to bring these annual processes into alignment.

Recommend you do the same, if you’re serious about the author business.
