It is needed in business because it serves as a guide on what an entrepreneur needed to achieve on a specific time and how he should achieve it. Here are the different steps in developing an action plan for small businesses. 1. DEFINE YOUR GOAL Being clear with what you want to achieve for your business is the start of developing your action plan. Then write down your goal and run your goal through the SMART criteria. • Specific – your goal should be well-defined and clear. You should consider the following questions: o What should be achieved? o Who are involved in the implementation of the action plan? o Where should it be implemented? Example: To be able to follow the health standard set by the Inter-Agency Task Force and employees being tested negative for CoViD-19. • Measurable – it should be measurable indicators to track the progress of your goal. It could be an analytical data, performance measures, or direct revenue, ensuring that your goal is quantifiable. • Attainable – it should be realistic and achievable within the resources, time, money, experience, etc. you have. • Relevant – it should be aligned with your other goals.

Having a timeframe for your goal will create a sense of urgency – which you need to achieve it on or before the deadline you set.
