Lessons to Learn from Apple…
I just love waiting every 3-4 months for a new launch by Steve Jobs… There is no doubt that Apple destroys its rival in the consumer electronics sector… With superior and sexy hardware design and a outstanding OS, Apple stands strong with it’s zero debt, recession-proof quarterly earnings increases and Pod, iPhone, iPad, and Mac sales…
The simple answer to why Apple is such a position is quite simple…
1) Apple goes against common business practices… They do what they want, and inevitably end up setting trends… Just look at how late in the phone business Apple came in, yet they set the standards for it… The same goes for them not jumping into the “netbook market and instead releasing the trend-setting iPad a year later… The lesson here is to have the courage to follow your gut instinct, not what the trend and market dictates…
2) Apple pays a lot of attention to what no one else in the industry cares about… Quality of the electronic equipment is one of the important reasons for the success of Apple…
3) Marketing… Apple markets all its products till they reach top of the hill…
So whatever it is you do, simply care about details that none of your competitors care about…
