To a certain extent it is more true than ever since there is so much noise in advertising and marketing. How do I get my real estate customers? I do things for them for free. When it comes time for them to use a real estate agent, they are more likely to come to me since I have taken the first step of friendliness and trust. Also, I didn't know that you had only a few friends. Do those other people know something that I don't? ;) One thing that I like about life is that working with an eye toward helping others can pay off very measurably.

It's very easy to forget the needs of the consumer when your focus is on the money. Money cannot like products, but people can.

I agree with what you said. There are ideas, and then there are ideas that actually work in the real world. Those are some good thoughts, Dean. I agree with what you said.

In the case of WOZ, what may have started as a hobby quickly became business fueled by EGO. No one goes to Stanford with egalitarian interests unless they are already financially set or there is a business plan with a pot of gold at the end. Experience tells me that devoted visionaryies are found in two distinct phases of life. Phase one occurs in youth where possibility of what can be is not influenced by jaded reality or practical knowledge. This is also the dumb and happy stage. Sometimes what you don't know keeps you from being your own buzz kill. High levels of energy and lack of responsibility to family are the fuel of the vision. Stage two is a calculated plan born from experience and a vision of some sort. I will stereo type this person as a 30-45 year old. This person requires a great idea and business plan to raise capital or, the achieved financial success to the level they can self fund the project. At this stage devoted visionaries must have a payout potential or they don't embark on the journey. the energy requirements and time requirements are too great to sacrifice on half baked ideas (that may work).
