Steve Jobs In His Early Years – Behind The Scenes When Starting NeXT
Awesome video I stumbled across thanks to a fellow YEC member that takes you behind the scenes of Steve Job’s startup NeXT… that he launched after he was ousted from Apple.
Some really cool stuff in this video… definitely worth the watch.
Insights I got and learned from it:
How important “driving a stake into the ground” can be to getting stuff done and PR
How Steve rallied his team while still being a strong leader to push the vision forward
How important it is to get away from the regular work environment and into a “retreat” with key team members at least a couple times a year to brainstorm and solve problems
Tons of great stuff. Enjoy 
Turning fear into fuel
Awesome inspiration for taking that fear we all have… and making it do some good in our lives.
Awesome quote of the week… Purpose is Not Your Savior (And Lack of Purpose is Not Your Captor)
Clay CollinsThe only thing holding you down, holding you back, is your inability to give up on anything that’s not 100% you. And the only thing that can set you free is your uncompromising refusal to do anything that’s not in 100% alignment with who you really are.
Just read this quote today… never heard it said that way… and I freaking love it. Really simplifies the conversation we all have in our minds about “whats my purpose?”… or, “why can’t I find my purpose”. Powerful stuff Clay… I love it
