I understand that getting a business idea off the ground is difficult for young students or entrepreneurs. Some young minds have amazing ideas, but the state of the economy would not allow them to save enough money to get started. Even the $500 that I give to some grantees have went a long way.
I take in business ideas through my official website and I cherry pick the most interesting Ideas that I see. The future of the technology industry depends on the great ideas that our young aspiring entrepreneurs come up with.

How do you bring ideas to life?
I like to start by keeping things basic. Over-complicating ideas will only waste time and encourage failure. I also communicate my ideas with people that are very close to me to receive feedback.
4. What’s one trend that really excites you?
The fact that IoT technology is becoming viable really excites me. It will not be long before every home in the developed world will be dependent on their IoT connected devices. There are already many great products lined up to be released in 2017.
There are IoT devices that monitor and adjust lighting and room temperature using sensors. There are also IoT devices that monitor biometrics and fitness.
5. What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive as an entrepreneur? I like to envision a greater longterm meaning to all of my ideas. I have great faith in every entrepreneurial and philanthropic project that I have put forward. 6. What advice would you give your younger self? I would tell my younger self not to obsess over small details and look at the greater picture. I felt burnt out in a lot of projects that I worked on because I would stress out about meaningless details. 7. Tell us something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you on? I believe that aging can be reversed with drugs at work at the cellular level. A lot of ground has been covered with the research by the SENS Research Foundation, a foundation that I have donated to. Some of the research in this field requires the usage of stem cells. There are some people who are morally against this, typically for religious reasons. 8. As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do? Entrepreneurs should keep their focus on one project at a time. New entrepreneurs have the habit of jumping to every little opportunity that comes along and they totally neglect their main project. Abandoning your primary source of income is always a bad idea, even if the grass seems greener on the other side. 9. What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business? Please explain how. I keep in close contact with all the referrals and market contacts I come across. Most of my success is from knowing the right people at the right time. 10. What is one failure you had as an entrepreneur, and how did you overcome it? I had a few fallouts with clients when I first started Mobile Technology. I tried my best not to dwell on any failures that I had made and moved on. Failure is always expected in the world of business and we can only learn from our mistakes. 11. What is one business idea that you’re willing to give away to our readers? Internet marketing, SEO and social media related services are always in demand these days. Learn these skills and you can start your own business. It does not take much money to set up a website and market your services these days. 12. What is the best $100 you recently spent? What and why? The Under Armour Gemini 2 are IoT shoes that can track fitness progress and goals. This
