LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU LIVE

7 Secrets to success of Steve Jobs
 
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night and saying we've done something wonderful. That is what matters to me."
1.  Do what you love, no matter what it happens to be. Don't settle.
2.  Put a dent in the universe. You have to have a big bold, concise, vision.  
3.  Say no to 1,000 things. Reduce clutter, make it simple. 
4.  Kick start your brain. Do something new. Think differently.
5.  Sell dreams, not products.
6.  Create insanely great experiences. "How can I innovate?"
7.  Master the message. You are judged on how well you communicate, on how well you present to people.

Live what you love and love what you live

OWNERSHIP

Two very successful entrepreneurs, but only one could help lead their team to an NBA championship.

Mark Cuban
Howard Schultz
Net Worth: $2.3 Billion
Net Worth: $1.5 Billion

Age: 54
Age: 59

Owner of Dallas Mavericks
CEO of Starbucks

Developed and sold Broadcast.comOwned Seattle Supersonics


Both are successful individuals, but why did Cuban succeed in owning Mavericks and Schultz failed in owning Supersonics?

A large part is credited due to the nature of ownership.

Cuban is known for becoming involved in the game, viewed by his team as one of the players and has never missed a game.

Schultz is known to not attend games, leave early, not viewed as a part of the team.

Take Ownership of your opportunity. If you want to succeed in anything you do, you must actively pursue improving. Don’t be shy to be vocal about your opinions; call your shots!
