The Birth of The Medical Manager

Personalized Programming had grown into a successful, one-man company. In 1980, my brother-in-law, Harvey, suggested that I incorporate the business for liability purposes. I remember how unnecessary it seemed to incorporate yet another business. Still, I accepted his advice and registered Personalized Programming with the State of Florida. The State sent me a stock certificate for the business, which I stuck in my safety deposit box at the bank. The certificate had a beautiful official-looking seal on it, but it had no real value to anyone but me. Nonetheless, Personalized Programming, Inc. was now a legal corporation in the State of Florida.

I really loved the work I was doing with Personalized Programming. If anything, my passion for computers had grown stronger since that first day in Radio Shack. Each computer I installed was like a dear friend I left behind to serve my clients. I may have looked like a one-man company, but in reality I had left my workers at every one of my clients’ sites. They worked for free day and night, and they never complained.

Once I started selling and supporting full system solutions for my clients, Personalized Programming began generating more than a hundred thousand dollars a year. That was a far cry from the five thousand I was earning at Santa Fe just a few years earlier. In addition, Built with Love was still earning a decent living. Through all this, I had hardly changed my lifestyle. The money the businesses were earning got donated to the Temple to support land purchases and the expenses incurred serving the community. The perfection of how everything was unfolding was enough to silence the personal mind. It was around that time when I noticed that my mental concepts separating worldly and spiritual had finally dissolved. Everything began to appear as the miraculous perfection of the flow of life.

If I’d had my way, I would have continued my life in that direction. But somehow it seems that in my experiment with surrender—I never have my way. So it was in early 1980 when I received two phone calls on the same day that would end up initiating the next stage of my phenomenal journey. The calls seemed innocent enough; they were from people looking for a medical billing system. What they wanted was the ability to do patient and insurance billing using a personal computer. I didn’t have a system that could do that, but I told them I would look around and get back to them.

After some searching, I found a system through a contact I had in Miami. It was supposed to be a nationally distributed software package with successful installations. I should have checked references. I got literature and pricing on the system and got back to my prospective clients with a bid. I had no idea what I was getting into. Once I started testing the software, it didn’t take long to realize that the package was absolute garbage. There was no way I was going to represent that software.
