Why is it important to have a clear business model?

Having a clear business model is like having a roadmap for your journey in the business world; it gives you direction and helps you navigate through the ups and downs. Just as you need a map to find your way in unfamiliar places, a business needs a clear plan to understand how it will make money, who its customers are, and what resources it needs. A straightforward business model isn't just about making money; it's about knowing what makes your business special, who your customers are, and how you'll reach them. It guides your decisions, attracts support from investors, and sets you up for long-term success by helping you stay focused on what matters most.
