Steve Jobs’ 7 Rules of Success

I’m am Apple fangirl.  Loud and proud over here.  I’m the proud owner of a MacBook, an iPhone, a couple of iPods scattered here and there throughout the years…

I believe in their products and I believe in more than that… I believe in their mission and in the mentality of the people that run the company.

I saw a great post on Entrepreneur.com that I really wanted to share with you guys.  Not only because Steve Jobs was an amazing man, a trailblazer and an incredible innovator; but because he was a downright smart guy who gave really good advice to a lot of people.

[Steve Jobs’] innovations have likely touched nearly every aspect — computers, movies, music and mobile.

The post I read is the author’s take on Steve Jobs’ success… and it’s true.  Check it out:

  1. Do what you love
  2. Put a dent in the universe
  3. Make connections
  4. Say no to 1,000 things
  5. Create insanely different experiences
  6. Master the message
  7. Sell dreams, not products
One of my favorite parts of the post is the very last paragraph:
There’s one story that I think sums up Jobs’ career at Apple. An executive who had the job of reinventing the Disney Store once called up Jobs and asked for advice. His counsel? Dream bigger. I think that’s the best advice he could leave us with. See genius in your craziness, believe in yourself, believe in your vision, and be constantly prepared to defend those ideas.
What a smart dude, that Steve Jobs.  Check out the original post for some details on the 7 Rules to Steve’s success.
