Entrepreneurs Look Back on Their Forecasts for 2004
The Nashville Business Journal (our local version of the American City Business Journals) ran an interesting look back on how well ten local entrepreneurs actually did in meeting their 2004 forecasts.
There are several interesting lessons on the challenges entrepreneurs face when looking into their crystal balls each year. For many they got to where they had hoped, but not the way they had planned. Business planning is such a fluid process, even for established entrepreneurs. The same creativity that launched the business becomes even more important as you navigate what my friend Peter Vaill describes as the permanent white water that is business today.
