STEVE JOBS' 12 RULES OF SUCCESS

Steve Jobs was a phenomenon. He went from being an unemployed college dropout to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time.
Here are 12 Success secrets from Steve Jobs from his great quotes and wonderful speeches.

1.    Do what you love to do. Find your true passion. Make a difference. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
2.    Be different. Think different. Better to be a pirate than to join the navy.
3.    Do your best at every job. Don’t sleep! Success generates more success so be hungry for it. Hire good people with a passion for excellence.
4.    Perform SWOT analysis. As soon as you join/start a company, make a list of strengths and weaknesses of yourself and your company on a piece of paper. Don’t hesitate to throw bad apples out of the company.
5.    Be entrepreneurial. Look for the next big thing. Find a set of ideas that need to be acted upon quickly and decisively and jump through that window. Sometimes the first step is the hardest one. Just take it. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
6.    Start small, think big. Don’t worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. Put a ding in the universe.
7.    Strive to become a market leader. Own and control the primary technology in everything you do. If there’s a better technology available, use it regardless of whether or not anyone else is using it. Be the first, and make it an industry standard.
8.    People judge you by your performance, so focus on the outcome. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. Advertise. If they don’t know about it, they won’t buy your product. Pay attention to design. We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them. Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
9.    Ask for feedback from people with diverse backgrounds. Each one will tell you one useful thing. If you’re at the top of the chain, sometimes people won’t give you honest feedback because they’re afraid. In this case, disguise yourself, or get feedback from other sources. Focus on those who will use your product – listen to your customers first.
10.  Innovate. Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower. Delegate. Let other top executives do 50% of your routine work to be able to spend 50% your time on the new stuff. Say no to 1,000 things to make sure you don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. Concentrate on really important creations and radical innovation. Hire people who want to make the best things in the world. You need a very product-oriented culture, even in a technology company. Lots of companies have tons of great engineers and smart people. But ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls it all together.
11.  Learn from failures. Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

12.  Learn continually. There’s always “one more thing” to learn.
Cross-pollinate ideas with others both within and outside your company. Learn from customers, competitors and partners. If you partner with someone whom you don’t like, learn to like them – praise them and benefit from them. Learn to criticize your enemies openly, but honestly.

Interrogate Your Friends


Everyone is a Well of Information. Draw from it. Drop your bucket regularly into that well. Schedule an appointment this week with your 3 most successful friends.

On International Women's Day.



International Women's Day.
I am a member of the USA International Resource Center (IRC) Library in Lagos Nigeria, as such I am privileged not only to have access to some great resources but I have been privileged to attend different events graced by great resource persons.
Tuesday 8th March was the international Women's Day for 2016 and as part of activities lined up by the United States Public Affairs was a programme held on Tuesday the highlight of which was a keynote address by Nigeria's first female Presidential candidate Professor Oluremi Sonaiya a retired professor of French and Applied linguistics from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.
The meeting was well attended by members, founders of different NGOs, and media houses. Also in attendance were the Public Affairs Officer of the US Public Affairs, The Consulate General, Mr John Bray, Toyosi Akerele,CEO Rise Network, Abiola Salami, CEO I am a Champ group, Mr Kolawole Publisher of The Illectual magazine and many more.

The central theme of the event was to celebrate women and to engender more participation of women in politics just as in every sphere of the society.

It was a great event at the US Consulate.

Cheers!

Quench The Urge To Judge


#MorningMotivation
 
You cannot draw conclusions as long as there is missing information. Things are never as they first appear. Reserve judgment. Never attempt to explain, or penalize someone for actions you do not fully understand. 

“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things,” (Romans 2:1).
