Tim Berry

Welcome

I’m president and founder of Palo Alto Software, founder of bplans.com, co-founder of Borland International, author of books and software on business planning, Stanford MBA, father of five, married 38 years.

This site is mainly about switching you over to my blogs. There’s a feed to the right that includes recent posts on all three of the blogs I do by myself. And here are the links too, with graphics:

First, Planning Startups Stories, my main blog:

Second, my Up and Running blog on entrepreneur.com:

Third, Business Planning Demystified on allbusiness.com.

Aside from those three, I also post regularly on Small Business Trends, and regularly on the bplans blog, and occasionally on Huffington Post.

I also write a monthly column on entrepreneur.com, and I’ve written a lot of articles on bplans.com.

My new book The Plan-As-You-Go Business Plan is due out later this year, published by Entrepreneur Press. I’m also co-authoring a second, on how to start a business, also on contract with Entrepreneur.

I will be teaching BA410: New Business Planning at the University of Oregon again this year during spring term. This will be the 11th year in a row.

And I have a new job. Although I’m still President, last year I named Sabrina Parsons CEO and with that put a new younger management team in charge of the company. That was written up in the Wall Street Journal, and in several blogs. I’m writing, speaking, and teaching. I’m loving it. I’m working more hours than ever, but doing the part of the job I always liked, rather than the parts I did because they had to be done. I’m traveling more than ever, mostly because of the speaking and teaching parts of my job, and I go to the office every day when I’m in Eugene.
