Writing a business plan is one thing - making it work in real life is another. When I started my first pharmacy, I thought I had a solid plan. I projected my revenue and estimated my costs, and I believed I had everything figured out. But reality had other ideas…

In this episode, I break down the biggest mistakes I made in my first business plan, from overestimating revenue to underestimating costs and failing to truly analyse my competition. More importantly, I share how I turned things around, the strategies I used to fix my business plan, and the lessons you can apply to avoid the same pitfalls.

If you’re starting a business - or thinking about it - this episode is packed with practical insights to help you create a realistic, adaptable, and successful business plan.
