The market constantly changes, and any business that goes on autopilot will eventually crash and burn. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information and advice. No matter what business you are in, even if you're a freelancer, this information applies to all. Thanks again!

I especially like what you wrote 'If the business plan only works if you don’t pay yourself, then it isn’t a valid business plan' It's also true that the business plan doesn't work if you don't use it daily as a way to monitor your efforts! I hope to run into you at a meeting some day. Great notes.
