As 2011 approaches business leaders are scurrying and hurrying to complete their business plans so their stockings of 2011 can be filled with lots of good treats from Santa.

For big business it often comes easy as it’s in the DNA of business leaders. It’s how we were educated, trained and simply wouldn’t be able to keep a job long in corporate America without a solid plan for success.

However, when it comes to small business, I see many business leaders and entrepreneurs struggling with not only developing a business plan but developing an overall strategy for conducting business. It gets worse when we add the internet and social media. What a recipe for disaster with random acts of marketing (RAMs) and random acts of social media (RASMs) if you’re not careful!
