I think  programmers will want to write software the modifies/enhances human health with applications such as the following:

  1. Creating/testing smart drugs
  2. Replacing/enhancing organs
  3. Replacing/enhancing stem cells

If you have a practical application in this space and need financing, please contact me directly through either LinkedIn, or Facebook. If I’m not personally interested, I’ll provide you wtih some contacts who can help.

Pay Attention

Pay Attention.

Without being actively involved, it’s challenging to be successful.

Some of the most successful people in the world are very detail oriented. They’ll ask a lot of questions–very specific details and they’ll expect everyone around them is very on top of everything as well.

Some of the most successful business associates I know would ask me dozens of questions throughout the day to be assured that everything was going smoothly. They would also expect rapid turnaround time.

If you don’t pay attention, mistakes will happen and small mistakes become bigger mistakes when not monitored.
