Apple remains the world’s largest startup

 

Today’s post is written with karma that feels like Steve is still alive.

(Depending on how you frame life, Steve IS still alive at Apple)

Apple remains the world’s largest startup.

Steve Jobs says Apple is the largest startup in the world.

Why?

He doesn’t run Apple by committee.

If you’ve never started a company or never worked in a startup, it’s ok for this to be lost on you.

No harm, no foul.

From personal experience, as i enter year four there is zero theory when you are a startup.

Chief Meaning Officer

 

Jack starts the video with three things: where are you going, why is it important, and what’s in it for the people that help you get there?

To scale your reputation, prioritize customer retention over customer acquisition.

Simultaneously do the same with employee retention over employee recruitment.

When it rains it pours

 

The video has many elements i do not condone: drinking excessively, not working toward compromise and no harmony in a relationship, and gambling.

The video does, however, contain the singer’s artistry, which i think is brilliant.

It also contains a catchy chorus…

“When it rains it pours.”

 

Yesterday, i confirmed a contract with a client who emailed me 48-hours prior with a speaker request at Universal Studios.

So lucky.

Also yesterday, a client i’ve been speaking with for 120 days – and who’s association has never paid for a speaker – let me know they finally raised the funds and have approved my offer. “Please send the contract right away” was the gist of the text message.

Man, when it rains it pours.

i realize today’s posts contain an edgy, almost boastful karma.

While it’s not the intention, i realize that a strength, overused, may become a liability.

As karma and serendipity would have it, the first client, above, shared this website containing the post about strengths overused, here.

Perhaps the only defense one could muster (because strengths absolutely can become liabilities) is this note from Steve Jobs.
