Today’s post was inspired by a colleague friend of mine–Sally Helgesen–a gifted author and management consultant.
Sally was reminiscing that her favorite Steve Jobs quote was “ Real Artists Ship”. I can’t help but relate this quote to Mind-Set #1–Professionals Have A Bias For Results.
By ‘ship’, Jobs means produce…get your stuff to market….get people to try your stuff, weigh-in on it…all the while taking a risk. Of course, your stuff may well be a product, but also could be a service–doesn’t matter.
Big ideas are fine…partially-designed products on a drawing board may temporarily inspire…but until you ‘ship’, it’s all theory. Results begin with ‘shipping’.
Do it and you’ll show the world why you matter–just as Jobs did!
