•Our story continues with our two investors D & M. A combined 42 years of experience between them; 22 and 20 years respectively in the field of business development and the operation of information technology enterprises all scales and sizes. From as few as one-man operations to software provider serving millions of customers per hour. Both men are extremely intelligent. Sometimes a bit too smart for their own good really… They think alike almost exactly to the nuance, but could not be more different in their approach.
Doug is charismatic (some say flamboyant), classy and graceful as he moves like a cat calculating its course. Douglas will definitely leave a lasting impression, at times appearing absolutely chaotic thirsting for knowledge or data on a particular subject you cannot feed him information fast enough then sitting quietly as he ponders all that was absorbed..
He plans then exercises causation as he is extremely conservative and reserved in his decision making. Calculating every variable down the movement of the iris when someone speaks their verbs versus the pronouns. He is watching for the eyelash that moves or the twitch the finger makes every time his prey starts a sentence that is not true…
As you will see from his financial portfolio he is on the slow and steady track to a comfortable retirement with assets eventually in the millions geared at giving him a continued quality/standard of living until his passing; when he will be able to leave a legacy for his family and loved ones. He doesn’t like too much RISK or taking on anything he knows he cannon master and eventually dominate the in arena until it is no longer fun for anyone else to compete.
•Markus – is the quiet guy who does not ever impose. He is polite and well mannered, to the idiot that is. What I see is a lion circling the feeding grounds at trade shows and exhibitions. He is cornering his prey and what seems like odd, bold, even strange risks are actually calculated well-timed market attack strategies which always land him and his partners on top. That said, if there is a new experience to be had he is all over it jumping in feet first and ready to swim.
Doug prefers to watch and see how everyone else does it first. He is happy to go last and perform said task eloquently and effortlessly because the work for him was done in observing. For Markus the prize is and was in going first and surviving. The trail blazer meets the trail paver. Their combine efforts typically see exponential revenue and profit growth.
•They both are both family men and believe in team work, compartmentalization of experience and creating an environment where people can succeed by having most of their personal obstacles and roadblocks removed. Once this is achieved you see who someone really is. They either achieve a path to the stars or find a road to hell. Every single human being is given the opportunity to be great at least once. Nearly all of us miss ours.
