You're starting a self-employed design business. What should you prioritize when creating a business plan?
I think it is very important to have market goals. Too often markets get separated from goals and Firms simply focus on project execution as opposed to actual strategy. That isn't sufficient. You need to understand where your value proposition fits within your geographic and typological markets and set SMART goals based on that. An example might be if you are in a market full of a particular typology, you may set a goal to reinvent that typology or reinvent the method of delivery of that typology as opposed to simply becoming another service provider in an already crowded market.
