Dr. Gedeon talks about the process of writing a business plan. In the first phase, he explains the need to think through the idea, and translate such idea succinctly in the business plan.

The second phase, which Dr. Gedeon focuses, is the market. He stresses why you need to be specific with whom you are selling your products or services to.
