Oprah Winfrey On The Value of a Business Plan

   

My expert views on business plans would have to be Referred to Oprah Winfrey. Also, she is recognized expert in their field of business.  Oprah has established herself and proven that her business plans are very successful. 

            

            Oprah Winfrey was born January 29,1954, in Kosciusko, Mississippi.  Oprah suffered a hard time growing up but eventually graduated Tennessee State University in 1971 with a degree that landed her a job in radio and television broadcasting in Nashville.  She then moved and worked several television shows to eventually launching her own show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in 1986.  Oprah’s fame continued to escalate to Forbes magazine naming Oprah the richest African American of 20^th Century and world’s only Black billionaire for three years consecutively. 

           

           What the wonderful and amazing attribute to  Oprah has is her insight into business plans and what works and what to stay away from.  Thus, Oprah has and is successful today-due to her strong beliefs on life and on her own beliefs on business.  Oprah’s view on a business plan is also, very interesting as she states that, “ To write a business plan will force one to consider the what-ifs and tiny costs that one might overlook, and what one needs to change to finally make money with ones business.” (Burhoe, 2011)  Therefore, this is a great philosophy to give to anyone starting out on their own adventure in setting up a company.
