” My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people.“

A book about Steve Jobs I want to recommend
“The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs” by Carmine Gallo
worth reading.
Shows His way of thinking, and connects it to many other ultra successful entrepreneurs, geniuses of our time. Very practical, a book that you can immediately put to use, and improve your own life and business.
I personally bought the book from Audible, in an audio format, and listened to it several times, while walking in the Dolomites in Italy. An astonishing material. Shows the power of reason that leads to simplicity and products that satisfy the needs of millions. let’s hear other readers:
“A “THINK DIFFERENT” APPROACH TO INNOVATION– Based on the Seven Guiding Principles of Apple CEO Steve Jobs
In his acclaimed bestseller The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs author Carmine Gallo laid out a simple step-by-step program of powerful tools and proven techniques inspired by Steve Jobs’ legendary presentations. Now, he shares the Apple CEO’s most famous, most original, and most effective strategies for sparking true creativity–and real innovation–in any workplace. ” – Amazon
The book reveals some of Steve Jobs’ principles:
Do What You Love.
Think differently about your career.
Put a Dent in the Universe.
Think differently about your vision.
Kick Start Your Brain.
Think differently about how you think.
Sell Dreams, Not Products.
Think differently about your customers.
Say No to 1,000 Things.
Think differently about design.
Create Insanely Great Experiences.
Think differently about your brand experience.
Master the Message.
Think differently about your story
Highly recommended. Well written by the Carmine Gallo.
Thanks! I love this post. And I find it really mind blowing the way in which Steve Jobs describes his business model.
The world need more people like Steve Jobs. He got a complete new way of thinking of business and opportunities.

yes, perhaps the world has many more creative geniuses, not exactly )*like Mr Jobs, but also innovators. And this quote is a bit misleading…:)
take care

That is called synergy! In a certain business, synergy is very essential. It will indubitably make one’s business achieve more and more success.

Hi Martyna
The Beatles – you are far too young to remember the Beatles and of course… so am I. LOL
Looks as though you captured the essence of teamwork…
“And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.”

“The Instant Millionaire” by Marc Fisher.
have you read it? if not, go, and find the book
I’m googling Martyna I’m googling.
The instant mill………
This model is one of the proofs that this man, Steve Jobs, was truly one of the great leaders we’ve ever come to see. Leaders always believe in their people and in their talent. We can see a lot of our leaders today who take credit for other people’s ingenuity and hard work. Steve Jobs have always said that his and his company’s success were brought about by a team of great people. This man will truly be missed.
