Over half term I decided to set myself a target. I didn't want to do too much of my 8-10 week project as I wasn't too sure exactly what to include so I didn't want to do loads and find out it's all wrong. So I focused mainly on updating all my work and folder to the maximum I could, and making a substantial start on my business plan. Having done a similar one before in my Foundation Degree, I knew the staple of what needed to be included.
After researching into business plans and business plan mistakes I learnt what to include specifically to fashion. Luckily I even found a business plan example for a bridal shop which I found incredibly helpful - not just because of knowing what to include but to see how they have worded certain things in relevance to a small bridal businesses. A lot of business plan examples online are relevant to only big corporate businesses that have huge budgets and loans to work from. For example it helped me understand, what certain statistics to include, how to write my competitive edge correctly, my objectives over a period of time, my specific target market and how to sum up my business effectively, realistically and positively in a small paragraph.
I worked really hard on this through half term and managed to complete it all before the first lesson back. I really enjoyed completing it as I am hoping to take this exact business idea forward in the following summer.
