Connecting Your Business and Your Personal Goals with a Plan | Most successful business owners have a plan for their business and quite often they have a mission statement. Mission statements usually define a business' core values, its purpose and vision for how employees and customers should be treated.

Incorporating the Exit Strategy into the Vacation Rental Management Business Plan | Every business owner understands the importance of having a well-designed business plan in place. A solid plan outlines strategies for growth, details how to train and motivate staff, and maintains flexibillity based on trends in the industry. The vacation rental management (VRM) industry has seen lots of recent change, and company owners are aware of the need to adapt. Having a business plan in place helps the management team know what is expected, even in the midst of these industry changes, and setting goals for the business motivates everyone to make strategic adjustments to stay on track.
