hey, where is my million dollar idea?

Getting back in the mode of business is hard. Why? Because it is more mental than anything else.

After spending the majority of the last three years freelancing, I am seriously looking at building a business model in the Pacific nations using my skills in both technology and business.

One of the greatest challenges in any business is simply finding a model that is not being used, make it work and selling to the critical masses. That’s the key to success for any business of any sector or industry.

Changing Technology industry???

As the world grieves or celebrates the passing of Steve Jobs; I am wondering what is about to happen in the technology industry in general, I mean I have been preaching at confernces all the world that I feel change in the air. That’s for sure without Jobs at the top of Apple, Inc now.

Apple was not the leader of the industry but it was for sure a major player in the hardware area. Especially, among users in the graphic design element of it, it is like a cult of a religion. When people hear of me using a Dell run of the mill laptop to do high end projects; they think I need a couch at the office of the local physiologist.

What does the sudden change with a major player mean for the industry? A changing of the baton.

Many of the founders and CEO of technology companies are getting old (they are 35 or over) and they are founder of leading companies that got in of the beginning of the “internet boom.” They have made their billions and now it is time to retire to Hawaii.

That mean two things: the handing over to younger (under 30 year old) executives to run the companies and a massive movement of people quitting their executive jobs to have startups as well. I believe the technology of the next generation will be lead by guys that roughly 23-26 right now.

I see John Riccitiello become an ex-CEO in the next 36 months as well as Nelson Gonzalez living in the Cayman Islands soaking in the rays soon.

Just look at the richest people according to Forbes in America

1. Bill Gates (Microsoft), 55

13. Jeff Bezox (Amazon), 47

14. Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), 27

15. Larry Page (Google), 38

18, Mike Dell, (Dell, Inc), 46

19. Steve Ballmer (Mircosoft), 55

23. Paul Allen (Microsoft), 58

39. Steve Jobs (Apple), 55

50. Pierre Omidyar (Ebay), 44

Of the technology leaders in the top 50, the average age is 47.2 year old while the average person in the technology industry is 27.6. It is the for the tycoon of technology to fade and be replaced by young innovators. We have too many cavemen of the industry still working at the office. I believe this about to change.
