Miami Herald’s Business Plan Challenge is one of my favorite writing challenges, and it’s a perfect example of the “why” behind it. If you’ve ever been to a business plan, you know that it’s hard. That’s why this business plan challenge is so awesome.
When I first saw the Miami Herald article I had to double check to see if it was actually a business plan. Turns out it was. It was written by a guy who had never had a business plan before. I was going to use it for a business plan challenge, but I had to take a screen shot so I could see what it looked like. Turns out this guy had written a business plan in his last days of life, which is pretty awesome.
Even though a business plan is written in the last day of the last day of life, it can still be useful, because no matter how far you live away from your last day, there’s still a good chance you’ll have a good idea for your next business. Some people will even have a business plan in their last moments if they’re in the process of building their business.
