Branding or your Brand is what separates you from everyone else, and especially your competitors. Look at it as the DNA of your company or business.

Think of this as creating a timeline of everything you need to do in order to sell your product or service at a price which is greater than the cost to you; this means the cost of buying or creating the product and/or the cost of giving the service.

A business plan helps you clarify your business model and reason for being, as well as keeping your goals and measurement /milestones in sight, to stay focused and active. A "living" plan means your plan can be flexible to accommodate any changing needs.
