You mentioned you worked for Steve Jobs and he was an asshole.
100%.
He also taught me about the concept of signal to noise ratio, which I've really adopted.
You need to get three things done every day, whatever they are.
And that's the signal.
You've got to block out 70% of the noise.
Now, because you're blocking out noise, you're perceived as an asshole.
We would have contentious meetings in the old headquarters.
Brutal.
Some of my staff would be crying when it was over.
People don't have to like you.
They have to respect you because you can achieve things.
If you try and make everybody like you, you will fail.
I love working with entrepreneurs and what that room was full of was entrepreneurs, people that really understand that entrepreneurship is not a destination, it's a journey and we're all in it together and we're sharing our thoughts together.
I really enjoyed that session because there's a lot of energy in that room.
But that's what it's about.
When you start a business in America, only a third of the population can pull it off.
I mean, it's not for everybody.
And I'm not telling people to do it.
But if you are going to do it, you want to talk to other entrepreneurs.
