As the leader, you drive the future of your company. Having plans in place for your company will help you feel more confident and clear as an owner, as well as help you experience less overwhelm. Do you have a plan for your company? Your vision is a glimpse into your company's future, but it's not a plan. The vision is the cause-- it's something to be pursued.
