Brian Roger of MyVenturePad.com has interviewed Palo Alto Software’s Tim Berry on a topic he loves best. Business planning.

In this interview, Tim admits, “in truth, a great product, great marketing and a genius entrepreneur can achieve success without planning.” But for the mere mortals among us, he advises, “If you don’t enjoy planning – and I mean the real planning, not the fake planning – then maybe you should keep your day job.”
