All the old business advice books I read talked about the importance of having a plan. In the interviews I do with successful entrepreneurs, I don't see clear, detailed plans. I wonder what this means?

Most successful people don't know how they got to be successful. They'll attribute it to whatever they think got them there.
Luck is being prepared for an opportunity
Those who are not prepared, are unlucky. They let life push them in whatever random direction life pushes them in.

The new entrepreneurs you're meeting are probably working in markets that aren't established; you can't plan for what you don't understand. The best you can do is make something that's good NOW, but be prepared to change your product if not your mission as the circumstances dictate.
