Sunday Planning
Business: Had a few talks with people about the EAP idea. Still trying to figure that out for the senior care site. Struggling with keeping to one project at a time.

Recent Developments
We’re changing up the business model for Salveo again. Moving to the cloud. With the Ipad out, we hope to do some creative things in the near future in terms of promotions. There is a huge market opportunity for us in the nursing home space. Its a largely untapped market for electronic medical records. My goal has always been to tackle big problems using business as a vehicle..ie; senior care, healthcare, energy, and education. At some point in the future, I plan to enter the home energy management industry and... Read The Rest →
