Many people liked him and many did not…it really does not matter.         

 Steve Jobs, Seven Secrets of Success. Come on and steal them, he wants you to!

 

1. Do what You Love- don’t settle, passion is everything. Do it because you love it.

2. Put a Dent in the Universe. Develop a clear and concise vision. Have the courage to follow your heart.

3. Say No to 1,000 Things. Focus. Reduce the clutter, make it simple. Get the spark back. Simplicity of consulting with only half-dozen people.

4. Kick Start your Brain’  by Doing Something New. Develop an inquiring mind. Unexpected connections.  The Apple store is designed from the Four Seasons. No cashier, there is a concierge desk.

 
5. Sell Dreams, not Products. Re-think something as an entirely new experience. Example, the iPhone revolutionized the telephone experience.

6. Create Insanely Great Experiences.  Innovate by creating an extraordinary consumer experience.

7. Master the Message. It ‘s all about how well you communicate. Steve re-invented the phone.

Steve Jobs was a Genius, a Perfectionist. The ultimate visionary. Steal his secrets, he expects it!.

Steve once said ” Good artists copy, Great artists steal”
