In your first year, you’ll be thinking about keeping your business small. That way, you can decrease the level of risk that you’re taking on as a young entrepreneur. But, at the end of the first year you might find that your business is in a better position than you previously thought. It could be that you have a chance to make it stronger with some extra money in your business accounts.

Full disclosure: I'm an investor in a stealth daily fantasy sports company. Daily fantasy sports have exploded onto the scene in the last couple of years, and recent events have caused regulators to look at the area with increased scrutiny. Generally, creating rules to protect individuals from nefarious business practices or to leverage things like taxes fairly and consistently is a good thing and I support it.

Ask your contacts if they would buy a product you’re thinking about creating. They will surely say yes. Your product doesn’t exist yet and they don’t have to pay you anything, so it is easy to say yes. Plus it is socially appropriate to say yes. It is socially appropriate to encourage your dream. While all your contacts say yes to your hypothetical product when it is time to actually make the purchase they say no.

Taking money from professional investors such as angels or VCs usually requires that you agree to seek an exit for those investors in your plan, often targeting five to seven years as the ideal period for growth before a liquidity event. Of course, even though that is your contract with the investors, way over half of those implied contracts never work out that way.

While some entrepreneurs think it’s unnecessary to write a business plan—especially if outside financing is not needed—I highly disagree. The disciplined process of business planning helps owners and managers foresee both opportunities and problems before they arise. In short, it’s just good business. For most, regular updates can help refresh once-forgotten goals and missions, as well as help reiterate accountability for specific employees.
