One of my all-time favorite business books is: âSteve Jobsâ By Walter Isaacson. It is especially valuable since byting my way into the software business arena â now selling 3 SaaS offers with another one (a shopping cart) on deck, and yet another (integrated multimedia mobile messaging system) in the hole. Back to the book: One of the more amusing parts of the book was back in the 80âs when the socialist wife of Franceâs Prime Minister at the time took a tour of the factory where Apple computers were built. Right on cue, she starts whining about how Steve treated his workers. All of which pissed Steve off so much, he hopped in his Rolls-Royce and started speeding down the highway going 100+ mph. Of course, a cop pulled him over and started to write him a ticket. And while the cop was writing the ticket, Steve obnoxiously honks the horn, sticks his head out the window, and tells the cop: âI'm in a hurry!â Anyway, the book talks a lot about Steve Jobsâ âreality distortion field.â And this was an example of that, and how he just didnât think the rules ever applied to him. It also got me to thinking about something else: How hardcore entrepreneurs are always in a hurry. Nothing can happen too fast, too quickly, or in too little time for those of us who exist each day not just with a sense of urgency⦠but a sense of EMERGENCY. In Steve Jobsâ case, he prophesied he'd die young, and thus had a strong urge to get as much done in the little time he had. Napoleon Bonaparte (also died young) had the same motivation, I am told. Something to think about.. Anyway, a lot of boys & ghouls I know up in this business are like this. They tend to be the only kind I talk to or associate with. And itâs the only kind of people I not only relate to but that can relate to me. Itâs also the kind of people I prefer associating with on Twitter. If thatâs you, and if you want to follow my antics on there go to: [httpsâ¶//www.EmailPlayers.com/twitter]( Ben Settle This email was sent by Ben Settle as owner of Settle, LLC.
