Entrepreneurship: from business idea to action
Steps to create your action plan
 Think about the main goal you’d like to achieve by this time next year.
 Once you have that, think about what smaller goals are needed to
achieve this main goal overall.
 Look at your smaller goals and put them in order – which ones need to
be done before others?
 Make a note about what you’ll have to do to achieve these smaller
goals and give an estimate about how many days or weeks this will
take you overall.
 Start to fill in your calendar, writing down your smaller goals and
adding a date for each one as a deadline. Also add the date of your
main goal deadline.
 Set dates for other tasks to be done to achieve the smaller goals.
These other tasks might include meetings or attending events as you
arrange them.
