financial independence

Heres one I found earlier, Lord Matt Covered business plans and starting a home business before on financial independence.
I am considering a new venture when I get the time and thought this was an interesting article its about following your own path, I was going to link to the authors site but it doesn't exist anymore that might tell you something?
1. Business Plans. Many article's online vow by the
business plan. Every new business owner must draft a
business plan if they want to succeed.
One successful business owner online never thought of
drafting a business plan. He learned the hard way.
He made many errors but claimed the learning experience
was a powerful teacher.
He further stated the lessons he learned were better
than any course in business school or college. He soon
learned how to deal with the many ups and downs in the
business world. Dealing with frustration. All things
you learn from the school of hard knocks.

As discussed previously if you want to make money from business you should have an idea of how you are going to make that money.
It might be that you write up a formal business plan or maybe you might simply give a lot of thought before you start with your idea.
Before you go ahead and jump in the deep end run your plans past other people that you trust that are qualified to speak on the subject.

Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.

My business plan for financial independence.
A big thanks to Lord Matt who commented on my post Is it posible to make money online.
What Lord Matt said was "my first question is do you have a basic business plan if only in your head?" This is a great point because what ever your trying to achieve it could be get out of debt, create an online media empire or trade the financial markets of the world and become the next Warren Buffett.
In fact especially if you want to trade the financial markets of the world and become the next Warren Buffett, without a plan to you'll probably end up like Nick Leeson.
Nick Leeson looks to be doing quite well now if your interested heres a link to his website Nick Leeson
You need a plan, a realistic plan so you know what to expect and what to do when. If you have a plan your more likely to make a successful venture.
