Overcome the Fear of Business Planning: Create Your One Page Business Plan (Lean Canvas)

In the last few years the lean canvas has become the preferred business plan of thousands of entrepreneurs, universities, accelerators and groups inside big organizations. It is even taught by the leading business schools around the world. Traditional business plans require hours of research and writing, take too long and are seldom updated. Worst of all, once written, no one updates them and they cease to be useful. The lean stack business plan is a one page iteration of your business idea that you will keep refining until it fits your customer’s needs and until you feel confident it will work.
