Strategic Planning Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Planning For Webmasters & Business On The Internet

You've heard that most small businesses fail in the first year, and that often it's a result of underfunding (actually poor financial planning). What you probably don't realize is that most (probably 95%-98%) of all small business websites and business initiative fail, and don't return anything to their owners -- no revenue or sales, no visitors, no nothing. The major reasons for failure of websites and receiving no return has to do with an abysmal lack of strategic, tactical and business planning associated with getting a website online.
