Netflix recently released a documentary on Microsoft founder Bill Gates: “Inside Bill’s Brain – Decoding Bill Gates.”

I won’t provide any spoilers, but as the trailer notes, Bill does have a unique ability to identify problems and come up with different approaches as solutions.

Software’s only part of it – for example, the reason Bill Gates acquired his wealth wasn’t because he was a great programmer. Far from it. The reason Gates made billions was he saw that you could invest time and money into building general purpose software… finish the job… and then duplicate that end result thousands, millions of times for a fraction of that original investment cost.

Up until then, almost ALL software was custom built one application for one computer at a time. This of course cost big bucks to do as every install was a brand new ball game. Gates, however, realized that it could be mass-produced and sold at a low price for the mass market.

A new business model emerged – one that made Gates (and many others) extremely wealthy. All because he was able and willing to dive into problems and apply a new way of thinking to them.
