Creating a Business Plan for a Dog & Horse Racing Business
One of the worst mistakes you can make as a small business owner is to not create business plan for your startup dog and horse racing business.
A good business plan defines the game plan. The absence of an effective business plan inevitably results in impulsive leadership, choosing short-term opportunities at the expense of long-term benefits.
Start by defining your business mission. The process of writing a mission statement doesn't have to be complicated. Once you're satisfied with your dog and horse racing business's mission, the other piece of the business plan puzzle will begin to fall in place.

After following the link, enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of dog and horse racing businesses in your area.
It's important to be aware of what the competition is doing. Take the time to visit the competition to properly assess their strengths and weaknesses.
A Good Source of Advice
As part of your due diligence on opening a dog and horse racing business, be sure to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. The last thing they want to do is help you to be a better competitor.
Fortunately, somebody who runs a dog and horse racing business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
