“Having a plan in hand, as abusinessman, is important because it is aroad map, guiding and directing you whereto go and what to achieve in the business.This plan really can help you achieve yourgoals, fulfilling your dream/vision. It is likethe statement made by Prof Eng Kimsanthat “Vision without action is like a daydream”,but “Action without vision is like anightmare”; therefore, it is necessary for anybusinessman to develop a business planbefore entering a real life business. In thisregard, a business plan can show you theentire layout of the business operation andits core elements, structures and themanagement system and strategies that youhave to undertake to succeed in yourbusiness goals and objectives even short,medium or long term.”

Buz plan: Twinkle Child Care Center

“The Twinkle Child Care Centre, which cares forchildren from three months to six years old, is my businessplan because I think that when people become busier, theywon’t have time to look after their children. So, if we runthis business, we can reduce a lot of their concerns and wealso can make a lot of profit because currently, there arenot many places that offer these services.”
