Ask yourself: What did you do when the brain industry was poised to create the next generation of drugs and devices for billions of patients around the world?
Unfortunately, too many people will probably answer that they ignored the brain industry because it was too risky, too early, too late, too complicated, too simple, too big, too small and all kinds of other excuses. What a waste!!
Wouldn’t it be great if your response was: “I invested in a company that found a treatment and cure for Alzheimer’s. Yes, I made a lot of money, but look how much of a difference I also made.”
I would also like to hear answers like: “I started a new brain-based company. Yes it was risky and a lot of hard work. But because of me, there is no such thing as epilepsy (or any other horrible brain disease MN). Yes, I made a lot of money, but look how much of a difference I also made.”
In my opinion, everyone who reads this blog and everyone who is a member of the Executive Club has an obligation to spend their time doing great things, to take risks and to make the world better by being amazing. Getting involved in the emerging brain industry gives us all a chance to both make a lot of money and more importantly – make a difference in the world.
Ok, so you probably want to ask me – ok, Michael, what are you doing? Fair enough.
- I am motivating and supporting entrepreneurs to create startups that will become the next big thing in the brain industry!
- I am convincing device companies to in-license risky, yet highly innovative brain technologies from Research Institutes, Universities and individual inventors!
- I am proving to investors everyday that the brain is the new heart and that the brain can make them a lot of money just like cardio did. We are convincing investors to ride the brain wave like they rode the cardio wave so that everyone – including the investors will make a lot of money!
In doing all of the above, I am providing lots and lots of added value to Research Institutes, Universities, Start-ups and inventors. It is karma – the more you give — the more you get.
Time for you to start giving to the brain industry – Your ROI will be much more than money.
