    Not true. My dad started his own successful hydraulic repair business in the early 70's and never had a "business plan". He raised 5 kids and made sure we all graduated high school. 2 of us went on to college, 1 joined the military, 1 a vo-tech, and 1 married a the owner of a small cross country trucking company (5 trucks and trailers). He had no written business plan either and still trucking strong.

    Daddy kept a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, and clothes on our backs. We by no means were "rich", but we had no wants that he didn't meet. He knew how to hustle and get work and keep his business strong. He was honest and fair in his dealings. Never messed over none of his customers. His only advertising was his business cards. His best advertising was word of mouth.

    I'm not against a business plan, but one is NOT "destined to fail" without one.
