We know people like to be creative sometimes but in the business world it’s a bit more serious because it involves lots of complication such as money, time, and people collaboration. Most successes started from a good plan. Without a plan, nothing will rarely work. Unless you are blessed to get some good luck or advantages that normally people don’t have. 

Even making a plan doesn’t mean it will absolutely work. But having a rough idea of roadmap and knowing where you are can keep you staying in the game longer with peace of mind. Running business could be stressful and only when you are exhausted with all the little admin and operation tasks, you will know how wonderful you can have a great sleep.

Unfortunately with digital technology, it shortens the distance and time to make things happen, but it also means we are expected to be responsive. Once you are in the game, you cannot quit and pause easily because all the tasks will keep on coming 24/7. And you have to keep refining the process to make your life easier. 

Therefore, before you are stuck in the exhausting status, prepare enough and you can enjoy the journey more. Let’s see how to get it started.

💡 How to write an Introduction?

The messages delivered to your audience are normally words content in visual or audio. It’s crucial to write in a tone that’s confident, but not intimidating. 

• The tone used should tell the story of the business and what it offers.
• In your description, there should be mention of the fact that the industry the business is in.
• For business, everyday language would be easy to understand, but it may not be appropriate for formal businesses types such as law firms. 
• Try not to come across as arrogant and overconfident. It sounds like a sales pitch, not explaining how the business could meet the customer’s needs.
