Greetings @ajewa. No doubt many underestimate the need for a business plan. Any project needs planning, and a business, big or small is no exception, as many details need to be specified, such as sales channels, key partnerships, target customers, things that if not put on paper and well thought out, can make it difficult to achieve business success. It is certainly something to keep in mind.
Having a good business plan is very important as it makes the journey more smooth.
