Before the business plan is even started, a little prep should be done first:
Pre-Business Plan
Business and Personal Feasibility. Without conducting Personal Feasibility, you miss out on positioning your business relative to your skills and interests.

Exit Plan is how you want your business to end five, ten, thirty years down the road. Vision is where it will be in five years when you're still on top. How will it have grown?
