Business Plan Experts

Oprah Winfrey is an accomplished television host who has had “The Oprah Winfrey Show” be on television for more than twenty-five years. She has expanded her brand into a new cable network, “OWN,” and is learning the art of how to effectively run the network (2011, Sohn).

Robert Kiyosaki is a real estate investor who helps educate people through his conferences and books on how to properly invest in real estate. He has grown up learning different financial strategies from two different types of father figures. He has inspired many people to take control of their finances so, they can achieve financial freedom and be apart of the American Dream (2011, The Rich Dad Operating Company Inc.).

Both Oprah Winfrey and Robert Kiyosaki are self made millions and have huge followings because they are people who had a dream for themselves and achieved it along with long-term success.

Both are recognized in their fields as “Top Experts” because of their successful long-term performance in their careers and what they have accomplished both professionally and personally.

When evaluating business plans, both investors look at key components as the deal breakers for business plans. Oprah Winfrey looks at business plans that that have a clear vision of what you want to help you stay on track. In various articles on Oprah.com a reader can see that the basis for all business plans is having a well-executed plan in order for that vision to be achieved (2011, Harpo Productions Inc.). Robert Kiyosaki looks at the Cash flow Quadrants in business plans to see where different sources of income come in and out (2011, The Balance You Need). Both strategies are key in developing successful business plans because without a clear vision, one will get lost and without proper management of finances, there will be no long-lasting vision.

It is important to evaluate respected experts in the field of business so, when writing a business plan you get the best advice possible to help you succeed in your plan.
