This is done by assessing where your business is right now and setting long-term objectives. To set realistic goals, you’ll need to develop mission statements and your vision for your business. Strategic plans are flexible and grow with your business. Based on the performance of your business plan, it will be constantly amended and changed. Setting realistic goals can be difficult as it also means that one needs to plan for uncertainty.
