Great post Charles. I think most people forget about number 5 (hiring) and that is the most important one of them all in my opinion!

As times have changed the company has moved from home tech support, to some subscription software development to, now, contract programming. Over the years I’ve always had a business plan. As projects can get “scope creep” businesses can get “business creep” and you can wind up doing things outside your business’s goals. My plan might not be as detailed as a traditional plan, but it spells out my business’s goals for the next 3-6 months, and I revisit it every quarter.

For over 10 years I’ve owned a computer consulting company, most of the time I’ve been the only employee, never needed to raise any capitol. The company exists mostly to provide liability protection and tax benefits.

Thanks for the comment, Chris. Let’s hope that Robert is right and there’s more to the story than has been reported thus far.

Good thing Twitter got all that money, they aren’t making any right now, it’s all costs and no revenue.

Seems like a business model might have been worth them hashing out…
