- 1). Create a business plan for a breakthrough. Scrap your current plan while creating a new document to serve as a road map for immediate success. Start by writing a separate vision statement that is short term in scope as it creates a visual image of the company after the desired breakthrough. The vision statement should serve as an inspirational message for employees -- or the owner -- and also create a foundation for strategic planning.
- 2). Review the business plan for completeness in critical areas. The plan should clearly illustrate how the company will significantly increase profits or achieve some other metric to signify a business breakthrough within a certain length of time. Challenge every detail for achieving the breakthrough. Confirm that the company is properly financed and that an aggressive marketing and advertising plan is in place. Confirm that the company's product or service is among the best in its class and that the company will leverage that to create an advantage over other competitors.
- 3). Achieve the breakthrough through significant and sustained actions such as acquiring a competitor, introducing a hot new product or spiking sales through an effective marketing campaign.
