Hi all,I am an entrepreneur, have been building e-commerce and technology companies around the world for the past 5 years.

That's the nature of the world.30 years ago you probably would have been pretty sure that Playboy magazine and landline telephones would be relevant in 30 years.  20 years ago, you probably would have been pretty sure that physical maps would be relevant in 20 years.  10 years ago, you probably would have been pretty sure that DVD technology would have been relevant in 10 years.Things can change quickly, and if you only want to pursue ideas that will be relevant for 20-30 years, you're likely going to be disappointed.  

I work with buyers, sellers and investors of residential real estate in Orange County.I have a Master's Degree in Economics, but more then anything I have the support and power of Keller Williams Realty with the most innovative technology and marketing in the real estate industry and the love in my heart for people and homes.

I am transitioning from a career in technology consulting and am eager to read and learn about successes and failures all of you share on this site.
