When creating a new business, what was the first plan of action?

*Did you brainstorm in your head?

Did you write it down?

*Did you use a recorder?

I believe for me it was all of the ways and more. I was so eager to get started and then a new project would enter in my head. Through research and knowledge gained along the way was to use these tools but be effective about how your plan of action was going to help you get success in the project. Doing too much all at once leaves you overwhelmed and inconsistent. What are some of your plan of actions to start your business?
