I use the one page business plan methodology. Once you create your plan, you use the web system to continually monitor it. Basically...

What are you building?
Why are you building it?
What are the results you expect?
What strategies will get you those results?
What are the big action plans you need to take?

I have a few samples at Business Plan, Marketing Plan Consultant & Coach, One Page Process

One thing I'm almost done working on, that will be in my blog next month is a list of questions that every business owner needs to ask themselves about their business... and have the answers, too
