business plan
A business plan is a ritual of aligning the fantasy of the yet-to-be with the reality called funding. Its ideals shine like golden blossoms, but quickly fade under the icy gaze of bosses or investors. Pages filled with meticulous numbers and fervent hopes can also serve as gravestones for unmet goals. The more grandiose the dream, the darker the shadow of infeasibility looms. In the end, only a few charts, not the drafters themselves, will move the world.
