Adrienne Graham, serial entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Empower Me! Corporation “When I first got into business, I didn’t write a plan. However, my second business, Empower Me! has grown to a scale bigger than I thought it would be. As long as you start sitting down and mapping out what your business will be, you will have direction when you write the actual plan. Make sure you have an executive summary, where you see your company going. It’s very important to have your marketing strategy and operations strategy and to know your competition. All of those components need to be in your business plan especially if you are seeking funding.”
