Writing A Business Plan

Making and writing a business plan, marketing your business, and finding starting capital is an extremely hard and time consuming process, but these are all important steps that every business owner must go through to establish a business. Even a person with no experience in any of these activities can set up and operate a successful business.

The key to owning and operating a successful company is having a well thought out business plan. In general, a plan for your business can be quickly described as a written description of how a company plans to make its money.

A good plan should start by including a list and descriptions of the business' expected costs. This typically includes line items such as rent, supplies, labor, and inventory. A good business owner will spend a lot of time carefully researching the current and future costs of each of the items on this list. Generally speaking, the more research that goes into each aspect of a business plan means that the plan is more likely to accurately reflect what will actually happen once the company starts operation.

Next, a potential business owner should list the expected price points of all of the merchandise, goods, and services that will be offered by the company. After this, list any prices that are currently charged by similar businesses for their merchandise or services. The idea behind this is to show that the proposed company's prices are in line with their competition. It is also important to show the reasons behind any price differences.

While charging prices that are higher than the competition can reduce sales, this might be mitigated in cases where the business offers services that increase the value of their product. For example, an upscale restaurant can justify their higher prices by offering a better atmosphere, location, and customer service than a mid-scale restaurant serving cheaper food would.

Finally, it is critical to include projected profit margins into the business plan. In addition, many strong business plans include a list of scenarios or stress tests along with a plan on how the business will overcome these obstacles. For example, a business plan might include a projected scenario in which sales fall by twenty percent. Solutions could include laying-off staff and cutting store hours and/or reducing inventory.

After the business plan has been written, the process of error checking and troubleshooting can take months. In fact, many potential business owners will change their plan multiple times in the course of establishing funding and actually setting up shop. As the process of starting a business moves forward, many business owners will rewrite their plan to include updated pricing for both their expenses and merchandise.

Since the business plan is the way that many potential investors will learn about the business, it is important to keep the tone of the plan positive. Some potential business owners even write several different drafts of their plan to present to potential investors; customizing each plan to speak to the area of knowledge or expertise that the investor understands best.

Business Ownership Pitfalls

Most people who have ever worked at some point in time or another have hated a job they have had. Often that same person has thought or said, if this was my company I would do this or that. Before jumping out and starting your own business, reading this guide will help prevent your business venture from ending in failure. A lot of the content will focus on people who work for themselves and less of those who simply own a business and make money off of others.

1. Know Your Industry. Usually a successful business owner will know the overall industry they are a part of. Often times the business owner will have known or worked in the industry for a good period of time and understand it. Focus should be made towards the customers, the competitors, the overall market share and potential profitability. Does the industry have peaks and valleys, how bright is the future, and how easily can competitors come in and compete in the market.
   
2. Love Your Work. Often successful ventures are lead or involve individuals that go above and beyond the call of duty. These leaders will often spearhead the organization or venture and motivate other members by teaching or promoting the business. As a business owner, I know how hard it can be day in and day out. Often owners will mention how much harder it is working for yourself than for other people. If the leader of the organization isn't passionate about the work than others will take notice. So if you have to work harder and longer to make a business successful by most accounts than imagine how hard it would be if you hated it. So advice here is to love it first and worry about what it pays secondly.
   
3. Hire The Right People. Often business decisions are made on price and not experience. From personal experience, my advice here is to do 1 of 2 things. Either get the highest qualified person you can afford for the job or if you know your industry and are experienced enough than find someone you can teach and hire them to do it. Obviously, on both counts you hope you don't bring someone in and learn the business and they end up working for or as a competitor. I have found 2 experienced people can do the job of 4 less experienced workers and cause the owner half the headaches.
   
4. Do The Right Thing. As a Marine, this advice comes natural. Always do the right thing by your customers and success should come hand and hand. Lying, cheating and stealing will get you no where and should be avoided at all costs.

Businesses Without Exit Strategies Often Die Slowly

Choosing the time to leave your business

With so much emotional energy invested into your business you are likely to not make the right decisions when it is critical to do so.

For example, when you are throwing good money after bad in your business and watching it all going to waste, you try and hang in there hoping that things will get better.

Too late, the business folds and all your investment goes with it.

What is an exit strategy?

In the initial business planning stage you need to decide how and when you will exit your business. Normally the exit planning covers situations such as;

• The market stalls or declines rapidly
• Someone makes an offer to buy your business
• Sales revenue drops below a certain trigger point for a period of time
• Licencing laws change making it impractical to continue cost effectively
• You want to retire or hand on your business to your family

Your exit strategy will include the details necessary so you can make the right decisions when a moment of crisis impacts on your business operations.

Recent example of not having an exit strategy

A new start-up business in the childrens party industry based its financial forecasts on certain trading hours. Everything looked good in the budgets and predicted sales forecast were achievable.

Before opening the leased premises the new business hit a snag with permits and ended up with unplanned legal costs and forced changes to the trading hours.

This is where the exit strategy plan would have been useful for reference. With no strategic review of their current situation the owners continued to launch their business idea.

What happened?

Months later the business is struggling to make costs and has little cashflow to stimulate additional sales through advertising. It seems that no one reviewed and adjusted the prior budget based on the initial opening hours.

The adjusted hours does not give enough hours per day to make the planned sales and the planned advertising budget was used to meet the legal costs.

At this point the owner should have thought about an exit option. Looking at the actual budget and lack of advertising budget the owner should have established a certain profit/loss figure as a trigger point to exit the business.

Why have an exit plan?

By planning early you already have the phone numbers and contracts established to sale equipment and stock in an orderly process. The other option is to suddenly realise that you have to lock your doors because you became insolvent just after lunch, and breached all your contracts.

It costs nothing to have exit strategies and will save you peace of mind when or if the moment comes to your business.

Moving Goods Efficiently Through the Supply Chain

There are some key questions about Supply Chain Strategy that businesses of all sizes need the answers to - whether they have heard them before or not it is important to always remember the basics.

The supply chain encompasses sourcing and procurement of raw materials, inbound logistics to the processing and production plants, warehousing and distribution of finished goods to the final customer.

Supply Chain Management and optimisation is the strategic coordination of the business functions (finance, administration, purchasing, production & manufacturing, logistics, sales and marketing) within a company with the aim of achieving the most efficient movement and storage of goods from point of origin to point of consumption.

What are the key mistakes that organisations make where supply chains are concerned?

Many organisations fail to truly coordinate their supply chains and often 'sub optimise' by treating each function as a silo e.g. targeting reductions in finished goods inventory without balancing the implications on economic production batch sizes, or bulk purchasing raw materials without considering the impact on working capital. Consequently, where one cost is driven down, another is increased.

During good economic growth businesses can prosper and grow financially focusing on sales and revenue, without perhaps the operational focus to ensure that best supply chain practice is implemented as the business grows. It is only when the growth slows down and the business is analysed in more detail that one realises that the supply chain has become fractured, cumbersome and expensive. This is a potentially very damaging situation for smaller businesses that have grown quickly without true understanding of the impact on to their costs.

Does a business need to reach a certain size and critical mass before it is worth investing in an outside organisation taking a strategic look at their supply chain management?

It isn't the size of the business or the complexity of the supply chain that drives the need for external expertise to review the supply management strategy; but the skill set and resource available within the business. It is often the case that the mistakes referred to above have been made and that it is only when the business is reviewed as a 'whole' that it can be truly analysed and optimised. This is not always possible for a company to undertake internally with an objective and unbiased approach and an independent review will be more productive.

What is the starting point of the optimisation process? Which key members of the business would be involved?

The starting point is always data. You can't start to make improvements without creating a baseline of how the business currently performs. You also need to understand how the business wants the supply chain to perform in future, and what growth plans are targeted. The key members of the business to establish this information are normally sales, operations and finance. You need to work with these members to gain cross-functional consensus on what the data is telling you about today, but also a consensus view of future growth plans. The latter can often be the most difficult - it is very rare in any business for sales, operations and finance to give the same answer concerning growth!

What, typically, are the kinds of benefits that can be gleaned by optimising supply chains?

The result of it being sub-optimised is often limited visibility, hidden costs and fragmented teams working against each other. If a sub-optimised supply chain is optimised correctly the benefits should include reduced operating costs, reduction in capital requirement and improved service levels to customers.

Is supply chain optimisation a relatively new phenomena?

Supply chains have always been around and there has always been a desire to ensure they are optimised. However with the increased complexity of a truly global market place and an increase in Global sourcing from Eastern Europe and the Far East it has become more of a challenge to optimise. This in itself has proven that a supply chain management strategy with a proper process for regular review and change is more important now than ever and will continue to be so.

How, if at all, has the economic downturn impacted on optimisation?

Never has so much attention been focused on taking cost out of all aspects of the supply chain as well as reducing the effects on the environment, whilst of course achieving higher levels of customer satisfaction - a tall order for any business especially in what are still considered in some sectors as uncertain economic times ahead.

The economic downturn has forced a number of businesses to reduce or integrate resource and infrastructure in some areas to such an extent, in an effort to minimise costs that they are now finding they are unable to operate to maximum efficiency and potential. This in most cases has provided a short term cost saving solution, but unfortunately has the medium to long term adverse effect on the business as the supply chain optimisation and the key business objectives are diluted; reducing their effectiveness and worth, preventing the business from achieving full optimisation.

Why Does Your Company Exist?

The prevailing business paradigm today is that a company only exists to maximize shareholder value. Any company or anyone who believes this to be true is in big trouble if they have this mindset operating within their organizations today. Not only is there really nothing else in business or life that can be successfully measured by only one metric, but the sole purpose of any organization needs to be "bigger" than just making money! Of course a company has to bring in more revenue than it spends, but only focusing on making money is a guaranteed way to drive your company out of business and quickly.

"My company exists to maximize shareholder value. Our company sole focus is to be number 1 in the world. Our company continuously strives to be the best!" If your company's growth strategy is aligned based on anyone of the above statements your organization is set up to fail. And yet way too many Fortune 500 companies have these types of statements as their corporate vision and mission.

For example, Facebook was not created to make shareholders wealthy- but rather to provide an on-line method for people to connect and communicate. Starbucks wasn't founded to employ thousands of people (which is a great benefit) but rather to provide a place for people to come together and commune. The sole purpose a company exists should be reflected in the company's vision. Microsoft founder Bill Gates had a vision of having a computer on every desk around the world- which at the time of main-frame computers was a revolutionary idea. In other words, the sole purpose Microsoft was created was to allow people to access information at their fingertips.

A company should exist to provide a product or service (which is what the mission is based on) to ultimately provide a benefit for society. There has to be a tangible benefit (which adds value for the customer) for the company to exist and maximizing shareholder value doesn't qualify. Ironically maximizing shareholder value (for both private and public companies) needs to be the goal and the corporate strategy needs to outline how the company will accomplish all of their goals while aligned around their sole purpose. Your company may provide the most in-demand product or service, but if you don't manage your organization profitably then it will simply cease to exist over time. So, maximizing value for your company is the most important outcome, but it depends on a myriad of other components to realize a profit. In order to realize your outcome you have to have your company aligned to achieve that desired result. Simply stated the four key organizational concepts are:

Vision (statement) - is why your company exists
Mission (statement) - is what product and/or service your organization provides.
Strategy - is the plan which will be executed to accomplish the goals.
Goals- are the specified results from all initiatives.

A recent advertisement for a large bank stated "XYZ bank treats every customer like our biggest customer. You're a big deal." So what is wrong with that very enticing idea? Who doesn't want to be the biggest? The most important? The problem is in how you define the biggest. Is it the customer that has the most money on deposit? Is it the customer that borrows the most? It is the customer that uses the most bank services? And makes the most money for the bank? The answer is you as their customer should want to be treated as their "most valuable" customer regardless of your financial status and then it is up to you and the bank to define what value means to you.

In order to be successful and provide shareholder value, a company must focus on providing value to their customers first and foremost. Of course you have to make sure every aspect of your organization is focused on delivering value and that your strategies are based on a well-executed plan and all of your employees are "on board" and engaged. To keep your organization on-track and growing, make sure you have clearly defined your company's purpose, vision, mission and strategy and then lead and manage your company to success!

Organizational Change Plan

As much as some hard nosed managers would like to believe that corporate culture is irrelevant to the bottom line, they would be wrong. When there is a major organizational change, the transition of the culture becomes even more relevant. Sure there are many other aspects of change that directly affect the bottom line, but if a smooth transition of culture does not happen then the change can be very bumpy and costly.

Doing this is difficult, but it can and must be done if a competitive advantage is to be obtained as a result of the change. This can be done by focusing on the following points:

1. Involve employees in the success and progress of the company. When people feel like their job matters, then they tend to work harder to succeed. If they feel like they don't matter, then they will work to that level, but if they feel like they are important and valued, they will work as if they are.

2. Regular meetings with employees. Including employees in meetings in which they feel free to express their real concerns without being scorned or punished is essential to employee satisfaction and success. They should also be taken seriously in their suggestions, not simply listened to, but ultimately ignored. Oftentimes the best ideas come from the bottom, not the top.

3. Clear direction to middle managers. These are the connection between the bottom and the top and during a reorganization, they must be totally in the loop. Nonetheless, they must be allowed a degree of freedom in which to operate within these directions and allow the same freedom to their subordinates.

4. Positive culture. A culture in which employees are respected and treated as such is one that sees high employee retention and a big bottom line. Is it any wonder that the companies with the highest employee satisfaction ratings are usually the most successful?

5. Rewards. Especially during reorganization, awards like trips, bonuses, etc. cannot be eliminated. Equivalent ones may replace them, but if any incentives are removed, employee spirits will be crushed and employee productivity will suffer.

6. Set up a complaint mechanism. You can never satisfy everyone, and sometimes you may satisfy no one. So employees need a place that they can complain and their input will be taken seriously and a fair resolution reached.

Without these steps being taken, organizational change can be crippling. Often change occurs as the result of a need for improved efficiency and productivity, but can do just the opposite if it does not include employees like it should.

How to Organize Conferences Within a Budget?

Companies organize conferences and meetings to interact with new customers, discuss plans and proposals, and resolve critical issues. Companies also host a number of seminars and corporate events to talk about their products and services and strengthen relationships with existing clients. Conferences are important for the growth of a company. However, looking at the present rough economical scenario, many organizations are finding it difficult to arrange these large-scale events within limited budgets.

The budget usually seems to surpass expenditure due to the various administrative tasks involved in event planning and execution phases. You have to decide everything from choosing the venue, inviting guests to the kind of food to be served during the conference. Then you have to allocate funds to implement such works. Now, the question is how you can reduce your spending on organizing a conference and similar such events.

With the passage of time, event management software's have being introduced in the market to make the management process smooth and hassle free. Such software's help in reducing manual tasks and makes conference planning much easier.

Starting with the registration process, event planners can use the integrated registration solution to create registration forms online. It takes only a few minutes to publish the forms via this software as well as edit the forms. Add your company logo or graphics as needed to meet your business goals. The major benefit of online registration software is generating forms to be quickly filled up and submitted online. So, there is really no need to spend money on office accessories such as: paper, pen, pencil, files, and folders, etc.

The payment collection process can also be made transparent and easier by using an online payment system. It allows you to accept payments via secured online payment gateway platforms besides allowing individuals to pay directly via their credit cards and PayPal. Conference organizers may additionally have the option to use their professional merchant accounts to let the registrants deposit funds there.

Planning an event also includes inviting guests. Emails have become very popular these days because of their convenient usage procedure and quick delivery. You can create multiple new emails simultaneously and send a single email to many people marking a copy to you. Emails can reach a person faster (in seconds) than a hardcopy letter via postal service or courier that takes hours and days to get delivered successfully. Event planners can save on a considerable portion of the allocated capital otherwise required to be invested in buying paper and pay for postage stamps.

Event promotion can also be smoothened and made cost-effective via online event promotion applications. They allow you to market products, services or events on a variety of social networking web platforms - Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. It just takes a few minutes to create a profile page in any of these sites and post your events-related content, photos, and videos to let millions of users view it and develop an interest to attend your program. No installation or downloading charges are required to use any of these social media sites.

Monitoring Your Strategic Plan

Once you have completed your strategic planning for the upcoming year, how often should you go back and look at it to determine that the plan is still valid; heading you in the right direction and staying on the course you have chosen?

We suggest you revisit your plan and the assumptions you made while developing the strategic plan at least once a quarter, as well as revisiting the entire plan annually. Why, you ask? Very simply, your strategic plan is based on your knowledge of your business, your business conditions, or environment, and the assumptions you and your team have made about what will happen in that operating environment. Actual business conditions are often different from what you assumed they would be, so it is important to regularly review and update your assumptions in order to keep your strategic plan on course.

Look at each of the areas in which you made assumptions. First, in each of your market segments you made specific assumptions about how attractive each segment would be in the upcoming years. You made assumptions about any threats, which could make the overall segment shrink. You also made assumptions about the opportunities, which could foster segment growth. Which of your assumptions is occurring and to what extent? Is the overall segment growing or shrinking, and is it doing so at about the rate you thought would happen? While this might be difficult to discern on a quarterly basis, if you are close in your assumptions to the actual rate of growth, then you likely will not need to make any changes to your strategies. If it varies widely, or the direction of the market is opposite to that which you predicted, then you need to step back and re-analyze the situation and possibly modify your strategies for the planning horizon and/or objectives for this year.

Are there any big impacts which have occurred which could have an impact on your future direction? For example: an aircraft components manufacturer might have been focusing on the commercial aircraft segments before September 11, 2001 but afterwards they changed their focus to military segments because commercial segments pulled out of their growth cycle.

In addition to changes to market segments quarterly reviews are where you evaluate any new opportunities that have bubbled up since your strategic planning meetings. For instance, an acquisition has become viable - you evaluate it against the objectives that you have chosen and, if it has higher priority, you add it and take off another, lower priority objective. If it does not have a higher priority, you save it to re-evaluate it in the next strategic planning annual cycle. During the quarterly reviews, you are reviewing the full strategy plan and this is where the items that were deemed "business as usual" or "normal course of business" are checked to make sure they haven't fallen off the radar screen and are still progressing. It is a chance to pull your team together to think strategically and pull back from the day-to-day.

You also made assumptions about what your significant competitors would be doing in each market segment. How is reality playing out relative to the assumptions you made here? Again, if your predictions are close, you may not need to change anything, but if they are not, this review is an opportunity to make a mid-course correction.

The team also made an assumption about the future average industry profitability in each market segment. How is that assumption holding up? Note that this does not mean your own company's level of profitability, but the general direction of the industry as a whole in this segment. Is this segment still an attractive place to be doing business? Should you emphasize it more, or less, than originally intended in your strategic plan?

Finally, is there something on the horizon which might displace the products or services you are providing in a particular segment? Are your products like the portable CD players at a time when new products like MP3 players are on the brink of introduction?

One of the outcomes of this monitoring and testing of assumptions could be the realization that you need to develop market information gathering approaches that allow you to better discern what is going on.

Having gone through your assumptions about your market segments, you need to decide what to do and when to do it. If your assumptions are close to reality, you likely won't want to change anything significantly. On the other hand, if your assumptions are at wide variance with reality, you and your team should go back to ground zero and re-analyze every market segment to adjust your predictions to the latest reality. Where you have made significant changes, you should review your strategic plan for each segment, possibly changing your strategy to reflect the changes that have occurred. If those changes in strategy will affect your Objectives, and thus your action plans, you should modify each changed Objective and action plan to reflect the latest reality, recasting each to take advantage of your new assumptions.

In Business, What You Can't See Can Hurt You

It's easy to get lost in the day-to-day details of running a business. There's always a pressing need for your attention. From dealing with customer concerns to making sure new products get out the door, what needs to be done "now" can easily derail your vision for the future.

If you live in the moment, it's not unusual to wake up at some point in time and ask, "What happened?" Where did the year (or quarter, or month) go? Moving from crisis to crisis may seem to keep your business afloat, but it certainly won't get you ahead.

Cloudy Vision

Becoming too focused on immediate operational concerns means setting aside strategic goals. The results can be disastrous to the health of your business. Think about the impact of more innovative companies on those that were standing still: Facebook vs. MySpace. The Apple iPod vs. the Sony Walkman.

You simply can't afford to lose sight of your long-term objectives if you want to be successful for the long haul. But how can you balance today and tomorrow, keeping an eye on where you want to be while delivering on your current promises?

The annual strategic planning retreat is one answer. However, we all know what happens the week after when the excitement wears off and the daily beast roars its head. The best-laid plans end up on the shelf and we go back to doing what we've always done.

Beyond the Smoke


You need a better way.

In medieval times, every castle had a lookout, someone responsible for watching the environment to see what was coming down the road. Your business needs a lookout, too.

In the modern world this translates to a system of observations, consistent methods for listening to the market, hearing customer needs, and sensing trends that will impact your business.

Technology provides a wealth of tools to make this possible, from social listening platforms that let you tune in to the online grapevine to CRM systems for monitoring customer interactions.

Data is everywhere.

If you're too busy to analyze it yourself, there are plenty of resources that can help. Industry analysts and associations will keep you abreast of market changes and competitive activities. Even your own sales team and customer service representatives can provide invaluable information about shifts in the business climate.

Use these resources to channel actionable information to your door so even when you're in the midst of fighting fires, you can see beyond the smoke.

Stay the Course

Strategic planning is not an annual event. It's a process of navigation: plotting a course, checking your progress and adjusting as needed to get you to your destination. Success is not a straight line. You need to actively account for changing conditions, like wind, weather and currents using all the data at your disposal.

Business is a lot like sailing and any good sailor will tell you that you can't leave the helm unattended. Even autopilot is a poor substitute for active eyes on the sea ahead. If you're too worried about fixing the broken latch on a cabinet, you'll miss the sandbar up ahead. As a leader, you must balance trouble-shooting with commitment to your long-term objectives.

At sea or in business, attention is critical.

Of course, the immediate issues will always need to be addressed, but this should be done in the service of your larger goals. To keep your focus on the long-term, translate your strategic plan into incremental milestones that will let you know you're on the right track, like mile markers on the highway or channel markers on the water.

Integrate your strategic objectives into daily operations and establish regular checkpoints to be sure you're staying true to the plan. Engage everyone in your organization to help keep your business on course, gathering useful information and sharing it in a way that can be acted on quickly when necessary.

Provide feedback to your lookouts so they can improve the quality of the information you receive, and continue to fine tune your course throughout the year.

Then when the annual planning retreat rolls around again, you'll be in a strong position to build on successes and keep your business moving forward.

How to Decide on Selecting an Office Space for Your Business

One of the arduous assignments of a business owner is finding the most suitable office space to establish a business. The mission becomes even harder when presented with so many options. If you are a business owner, or someone assigned to look for a place for a business, and found yourself in between convincing options, here is a guide to help you decide.

Spacious

Does the place have enough room for every staff, furniture and equipment you want your business have? Try to picture that everything is in place. Does it feel constricted? Or, does it feel sufficient? When it is an empty space, and it felt wide, don't be fooled and think it is enough, because when the office furniture pieces and equipments are in place, it might tell a different story. If you brought an office space planner with you, ask him to measure everything before it's too late.

Furnish-able

Of course, what is a workplace without the sturdy furniture, functional equipments and all the embellishments everywhere, which you need to fix on the floor and walls? Nothing! But, before you even think of implementing any jaw-dropping interior design and office arrangement, ask yourself, "Will I be allowed to paint the walls, make some holes for the fixtures and, maybe, add a permanent partition?" Learn about the restrictions, if there's any. And ask what is needed to be done in case you need to move to another location. If you agree to all that you will be told, then it probably is the space you need.

Noise Level

As someone working in an office, I hate those noises which I have no intention to hear, but is lingering in my ears like a buzzing bug that won't go away. Check the level of noise inside and outside the space has. If it is something you, and your staffs, can bear in a day to day attendance to work, then the place is suitable for everyone's comfort.

Fit

Some office spaces available have a definite layout already, which is attributed to the structure of the building they're in, most commonly irregular square and L-shaped. Moreover, some have built-in divisions, while most are undivided. Considering the space layout, your ideal business setup should fit well. If your preferred arrangement will appear distorted just because of an awkward fixed counter corner somewhere in between one of the sides, or due to asymmetrical sides and corners, then it is better to find another that perfectly fits your ideal business workplace arrangement.

Expansion

As the business owner, you always anticipate growth and expansion. It is more preferable to find the extension of an office in the same building, if not in the same floor. Thus, in your search for an office space for your business, you should choose the building where expansion is possible.

Imagination

The moment you arrive at the place, were you able to, positively, imagine your business dealing with its operation smoothly happening on the place? And, how does it feel? Our subconscious sometimes dictates to us the perfect place where we should be or put things. If a flash of everything on the place feels pleasurable for you, then there is a good chance that you are already inside the space where your business office should be.

Selecting the right office space for your business is just a matter of defining your predilections and center selection from there. However, if you don't have a list of preferences, and you are afraid to fall short in the selection process, the aforementioned guide should keep you in the right direction.
