# Oprah Finally Catches Up

 Published by [Mike Desjardins](https://blog.virtusinc.com/virtus-inc-leadership-journal/author/mike-desjardins) on Nov 21, 2008 4:18:11 AM

About six years ago we introduce the One-Page Focus Plan to the ViRTUS Community.  The OPFP is designed to help CEOs, entrepreneurs, and executives plan out the next twelve of their business and personal lives on one page.

[O, The Oprah Magazine](http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/omag_200709_idea), has recently published an article on a simplified version (for business only) of a one-page business plan.  When I received the email the first thing I thought was, “Oprah finally caught up.”  I thought the same thing when she featured the movie the Secret a year after it was released.  Thus the title of this blog post.

For those of you who are interested in the one-page business plan but find the one Oprah featured a little “light” we are in the process of launching a new version of ours this January.  I will post the instructions then.  If you want a copy of the original version email me and I’ll send you one or visit this link to find a third version which I really like: http://mygazelles.com/one-page\_new.html
