Two Business Plan Experts


In this installment we discuss 2 recognized “experts” in the field of writing and/or reviewing business plans.  With the official launch of the network right around the corner, we felt that it may be beneficial for both us as well as our clients.   The first individual we discuss is (author and teacher) Tim Berry.  And secondly is David V. Lorenzo the self proclaimed “Rainmaker Lawyer”. 

Berry, an established public speaker and recognized entrepreneur, he has been teaching collegiately (at the University of Oregon) for well over decade.  According to his self-titled website TimBradly.com, he is also noted as: founder and chairman of Palo Alto Software and bplans.com, co-founder of Borland International, author of books and software on business planning, Stanford MBA, father of five, married 42 years” (Berry, 2012)Tim has been able gain and (steadily) maintains the title of “expert”, by consistently blogging, creating (and distributing) self-promotional material and hosting private seminars (for higher).  This one is aspect that he shares with our other expert David Lorenzo.

Mr. Lorenzo (a lawyer consultant by title) is also reputable resource.  While he does provide a few philanthropically recognized services (by way of a free email tutorial of his program “How Smart Lawyers Make a Great Living AND Get Home for Dinner On Time EVERY NIGHT”!).  He ultimately aims to protect his greatest assets as well as yours.  Prior to obtaining his assistance, he insists that all potential clients should take heed to these potential conflicts. 

·      Dave Lorenzo is blunt, straightforward and may NOT tell you what you want to hear.
·      Dave respects your most valuable asset - your time.
·      You get what you pay for - beware of free advice.
·      Dave doesn’t Work with Just Anybody.
·      Your competition may already be working with Dave.

David offers one last piece of information for anyone looking to speak with him one on one.  “If you would like to speak with Dave and you are not a client, you will be asked to pay a $250 consultation fee by credit card before we schedule your call with him…If you do not want to pay this fee, please do not call and leave a message” (Lorenzo).
