I came across this today, titled iMentor, an article by Michael Hyatt, who came across the slideshow on his RSS reader. I really tried to get the slideshow, but could only get the link to it. The lessons impressed me so much that I wanted to share them with others.
This is my own take on the slideshow which I now refer to as iWriter. The lessons are simple but profound and I believe they apply to my writing life.
- Follow your heart (and pen, just let go).
- Make a dent in the Universe (even if it’s your own universe).
- Think different (but tell a good story, any way you can).
- Sell dreams, not products (books are dreams)
- Make products for yourself (write because you love writing)
7. Keep it Simple (one true line…and then another).
8. Go for Excellence ( enough said).
9. Break the Rules (Junot Diaz did).
10. You only Live Once (see photo above & memorize).
Now, enjoy the slideshow. Thanks Steve Jobs and may you be well as long as you possibly can.

Mija- I've meant to tell you that I love the music you've got playing here!! 🙂 Oh and what a beautiful photo you have on your profile. Got rid of the avatar I see. Brave. 🙂 I'm not ready yet. Don't want people from work to know it's me. 🙂
Thank you for sharing Steve Jobs great list. It is a very fundamental list isn't it? Nothing fancy about it…and maybe that's why it's so fantastic (especially with the added bonus of your writing references alongside).
