You need to have some sort of business plan, or plan of action before you start a business.
No, it needn't be a super elaborate business plan, unless you are seeking bank financing. But you do need some sort of business plan nonetheless. Why? Because a properly constructed business plan is like a roadmap to your goals. Let me explain.
Imagine being in a strange city without a map or GPS. Sure, you can ask strangers for directions, but you know how that works. If you ask 10 different people, you'll get 10 different sets of directions, and end up even more confused and lost.
Or you can bypass asking for directions altogether, and wander around aimlessly, like a "chicken with your head cut off." And eventually, you may get to where you want to go. But with a map and a clear plan of action, you'll get to your destination that much faster.
And while you don't necessarily need a business plan to build a website, if you incorporate the purpose and/or goals of your site into your business plan, you'll have a much clearer vision of your goals, which will enable you to achieve them that much faster.
One final thing about business plans: They aren't written in stone, and more than likely you'll have to change or adjust your plan multiple times along the way.
