The first time you meet Julie, she seems like the typical thirty-something young woman from a third-world country. Nothing strange, since she was born and raised in the Rep. of Panama and now lives in Belize. Nevertheless, as you look a bit closer, you realize that you're dealing with a matter-of-fact woman who thinks and reasons a lot like a born-American-Citizen. That could be explained because of the fact that she was born on the Panama Canal Zone and has been "indoctrinated" in the American Culture.
What is not so easy to explain, however, is how dozens not to say hundreds of well-known products and services today, were first outlined in one of Julie's several notepads she's kept for almost 16 years. Some of these ideas have been outlined in every detail. For instance, there is an idea for a software that she entitled "Strategy" which she designed to search for the right way of solving basically any problem or situation. From the cure to a deadly disease, to playing like Michael Jordan. This idea has been made into a spiral booklet.
Julie says when she first heard about Google, it sounded like it had a lot in common with her "Strategy". Honestly I have seen the document and I believe, the benefits go way beyond Google. The way she expains it in the booklet it can be sophisticated enough to be part of every company's must-have software. But it can be domestic enough to be part of everyone's PC. And the premise of such work is based on a simple algorithm principle.
Another product similar to one of hers is the Movie "The Manchurian Candidate". She had wrote a story called “Anchor” based on the concept that certain individuals can be programmed to do things and by saying a certain word or touching them a certain way it can trigger the desired reactions. And the story involved a high-profile politician. She sent out the script to several contacts and no one seemed interested. Yet a couple years later, the movie is released containing striking similarities. "I'm not accusing anyone" -Julie says "I just think it has been more than proven that I have very good commercial ideas and maybe it's time to get some credit for them."
Recently she gave Dove and Olay a great idea for their soap bar packaging, which she is not at liberty to discuss right now. But she believes she could be of help to a lot more companies. Right now she is offering a FREE idea to the 5 first companies that contact her before the end of 2005.
"I have been practicing for almost 16 years, and up to now I've been on target more than 95% of the time. I believe I have earned the right to say that I know a good thing when I see it"
Is Julie the new face of the American Dream? Or are we indeed becoming a great community thanks, in part, to the World-wide-web? Whatever the case may be, I believe it's in our best bet to keep an open mind and have the correct attitude towards diversity and change. After all, we never can tell where the next Microsoft Explorer will come from or what features will its author display.
