Experts in Writing a Business Plan

Writing Business Plane Experts Tim Berry and Jeffery Edelheit

In writing a professional business plan, it is important to have all of the details. In researching experts, I was able to come across two names that will help in the writing process. Tim Berry and Jeff Edelheit have been experts in the field for years. Each man had done research and written books on how to write a successful business plan.

Tim Berry, According to the article, “His most recent book on Business Planning, CPA's Guide to Developing Effective Business Plans, was first published by Harcourt Brace in 1998 and is already in its second edition. His Hurdle: the Book on Business Planning is in its third printing (and is actually a subset of the manual to Business Plan Pro.) His earlier books were published by McGraw-Hill, Hayden Books, and Dow Jones-Irwin.” In the books, Berry is able to answer questions about how to write a plan. His expertise leads to research in Japan and work on apple software. Tim Berry also has an MBA and Ma from Oregon University. He can be reached online as well as through his books, with help and expertise.

Jeffery E. Edelheit was found on the same informational website. The website allows for information on writing as well as details on how to get ahold of the authors. (Site details will be posted at the bottom) According to Edelheit, “My specialty is assisting clients in formulating the best business plan possible by supporting their efforts to make the information presented realistic.” Jeffery E. Edelheit researches companies around the United States. He studies what would have made the business better, and how a person is able to get in on the ground floor of the business. Some of his most recent work online were, “What happens if I default on my SBA loan, and How to sell food products over the Internet.”

With the economy structure down right now, it is important to receive help from experts. People who have studied and learn ways to help any entrepreneur establish his or herself in the business world. This advice will help for any business from food to entertainment, I would recommend, “Asking the expert.”

The Cross-training Ballerina

Cross Training for the Technical Dancer

For those that love to dance, training begins at a young age. Many children begin at the age of five studying ballet and tap. These techniques develop many strong muscles in dancers. As ballet originated, it was important for the dancer not to participate in any other forms of athletics. Running would build up muscles that are no as important for ballerinas. As time progressed, studies have shown that cross training is important for dancers to excel. On the website of Suite 101, Professionals study the important elements of a dancer. According to Laura DiOrio,

When ballet dancers spend all day in fifth position, those turnout muscles become strong. When dancers start supplementing their classical technique with other exercise forms, however, a more well-rounded, stronger, healthier body will emerge. Yoga, Pilates, Gyro tonics and cardiovascular fitness are some of today's most popular and beneficial practices for dancers (¶ 1).

           

The exercises listed above allow for different results in cross training. Yoga, is known for its discipline in flexibility and focus. Pilates exercises the core stomach and back. Cardiovascular exercises benefit the performers heart and health. One of the favored trainings is Pilates. Joseph Pilates created exercise that wounded soldiers could perform lying down. These core-building routines advanced into an aerobic movement, which increases a dancer’s strength and flexibility.

Cardiovascular training slowly has become part of a technical dancers requirement. “Most ballet training is a static start and stop”(2010). The ballet class alone may only burn around 300 calories. If the dancers intend to keep the heart healthy, a constant aerobic workout is important. The silhouette and performance quality of a dancer are a specific part of the contract. It is imperative for the dancer to include more than classes.

The motto a ballerina “does not run,” is a thing of the past. Now it is crucial for a ballerina to run. As the world of dance progresses, the requirements will change as well. The classics will stay the same but the lead ballerina will be strong enough to run a marathon.

Healthy Living Styles For Dancers

 Dance Nutrition.

Our culture has become very focused on diet and exercise. Increasing percentages of Americans have health and cholesterol problems. It is important for human beings to implement a healthy living style. However, more pressure is put on athletes and performers to live up to certain dietary expectations. The ideal dancer is viewed through talent and appearance. It is important to be thin and strong. Thin does not mean sick. The performer must know the basics of healthy eating, to keep muscles strong and active. Many studios have nutritionists. Some cannot afford a certified doctor and need other ways of reaching out.

            I have found a web site, “The Center for Dance Nutrition.”  The Center is affiliated with Atlanta Ballet. The diet and nutritionists have formed an interactive website for dancers who do not have contacts close. The site is formatted for dancers to ask questions, set up meal plans, and be held accountable to a certified nutritionist all online. According to the article, “The vision of the Center for Dance Nutrition and Healthy Lifestyles is to assist dancers, and dance companies in achieving the best possible performance with fewer injuries by ensuring that health and nutrition are an integral part of each dancer’s education and experience” (2011). The site sends out daily articles as well as having a page on Facebook.

            It is so important for dancers, or athletes, to take care of their bodies. The body is the tool used to perform. Because many people begin training at a young age, it is hard to follow proper nutrition as the body begins to mature. This website allows teenagers to be educated on proper eating, as their body changes. Many young dancers will go to extremes to keep up the perfect silhouette. If we can educate children and young adults early, the chances of eating disorders decrease.
