An entrepreneur is, in essence, a maker of plans. Actionable, specific plans for the realization of things that don't yet exist; turning ideas into action.
It sounds simple, but any business owner who has tried to start, build and grow a business knows how tricky this skill can be. Because, let's face it: business is too complicated to simply sit down and make 'one plan, one business plan to rule them all...'.
It's product and marketing plans. It's legal and financials; customer support and content plans. If you're doing it right, entrepreneurship means you are always standing at the edge of your next plan, always in a position to pivot as new information comes in and to update your plans accordingly.
The problem with such dynamic planning is that it takes time. Time to write out your plan. To assess what happened, and reassess if the current gameplan is still the best path. To think through the expected outcomes, costs and ROI.
Let alone making plans for things you're not-so-well-versed in. "I know I should have a Customer Onboarding Plan, but can someone please remind me of best practices again?"
Fortunately, we live in 2023 and some of the most powerful AI models in existence are available to help us with the more mundane and administrative side of business planning; so that you can focus on the strategic inputs and let your new AI-powered tools fill in the details.
In this post, I'll be sharing 6 of the best such AI-powered business plan generators. From tools to help you write out a formal business plan proposal (say, for applying for a business loan) to apps that will guide you through and generate plans for every step of your business building journey.
