Although I originally posted this previous to Steve Jobs passing away, I think it is even more poignant in his death: There is a new ebook released that focuses on one of the great visionaries of our time, Steve Jobs. If you have read “The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs”, this should be familiar to you. These principles have guided Steve Jobs throughout his career and are principles we can all use today to be more “innovative”.
1. Do what you love – Find your passion and follow it
2. Put a dent in the universe – Never underestimate the power of vision.
3. Kick start your brain – Creativity leads to innovation. Creativity is connecting things
4. Sell dreams, not products – Help your customers achieve their dreams, and you will be successful
5. Say no to 1,000 things – Say no to things that derail your focus and yes to those that help you meet your goal.
6. Create insanely great experiences – Enrich your customers lives and have fun!
7. Master the message – Think visually and bring your story to life.
When all else fails, ask yourself, “What would Steve Jobs do?”
