WHAT’S NEXT? BOOKS THAT CALL YOU ON THE PHONE?
Irvine, CA--Books--you buy them, you read them, you put them on a shelf, and buy the next edition for the latest information; right? Not according to author and business plan expert Tim Berry.
Berry introduces readers to the new, high-speed world of books with his latest book The Plan-As-You-Go Business Plan (August 2008, Entrepreneur Press), a business planning book that offers its readers access to a "live" edition where the content is kept alive and up-to-date on the web.
"Some things change more often than books are printed, so I keep the content alive and refreshed on the web. I figured readers have the book as their guide, but let’s also optimize," Berry explains. "It's a new world; everything changes so quickly. Happily, most of what I have to say will last but there will also be updates, new ideas, tools, and more."
Of his new book, Berry says "I don't expect this book to sit static on a shelf. And I don't expect it to sit static as it is--I expect to update it constantly on the web, on my blogs and as it flows through the world into other books, magazines, software and so on. Things change, not just in your business, but also in the business of business planning."
So what does this mean to readers of The Plan-As-You-Go Business Plan? It translates into access to the latest and greatest in the world of business planning 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When a reader buys a "live book," they’re buying a long lasting, interactive resource.
"My 'live book' offers readers quick links to resource referenced in the book, access to blogs and other online resources where they can ask questions and get immediate responses, and more. It gives readers the opportunity to interact with experts and with what they're reading--even if they don’t have the book with them; they just need a computer," says Berry.
Berry's "live book" offers the complete book online--every chapter, every sidebar. Additionally, readers gain access to extras such as related videos, expert podcast discussions and interviews, and the latest blog posts from business enthusiasts and entrepreneurs.
Berry is the founder and president of Palo Alto Software, the manufacturer ofBusiness Plan Pro, the country's bestselling business plan software, of which he is the principal author. An innovative business planner, his “live book” is just an inventive means to present his new modern, approach to planning a business.
Berry's Plan-As-You-Go Business Plan offers a simplified business planning process and reveals how to create business plans that grow with the business. Providing adequate guidance for every situation and every stage of business, readers learn to ignore the traditional, formal cookie-cutter plans that other business planning resources offer and to focus on tailoring a plan to their company; allowing them to literally plan as they go and to, ultimately, steer their business ahead while saving time.
