What we want to do is to make a leapfrog product that is way superior to any mobile device has ever been, and super-easy to use. This is what iPhone is. OK? So, we’re going to reinvent the phone’
Steve Jobs
What do you deliver to the world? Who are your customers? How valuable is your product to the society? Is it something very valuable and unique? Can someone offer a product or service much superior in quality and more competitive than what you offer?
The answer to these questions will decide not only the future of your product, but also your own future!
Do you want to double or triple your income? It is very simple. Make your product or services double or triple as valuable! If you are offering a cheap product for a cheap price, you will have a lot of competitors. But if you develop a very costly product and sell at very high price to people who appreciate the same, you will have very few competitors! It is very easy to make the decision to reach this position, but very difficult to achieve the same.
If you want to know how to make great products from a simple idea, read the story of Star Bucks, Apple Computers, Disney Land, Honda, J K Rowling etc. You will understand how these people made it!
If your products are not good, no matter how hard you market the same, you will fail along with your product!

A man’s accomplishments in life are the cumulative effect of his attention to detail’
John Foster Dulles
There is a presupposition in NLP which says ‘anything can be accomplished if broken into small enough chunks’. The ability to go into details is a prerequisite to ensure quality. While we should have an overall perspective of what we are doing, we should also develop a micro focus on what exactly we are doing at this very second.
An eye for details does not come to us naturally and we can develop this by doing certain exercises.
Do this exercise.
Take a very broad look at this page. Then take a paragraph and understand the content. Take any one sentence and understand. Then focus on the use of words to convey the content. Let not your mind wander here and there.
Similarly fine tune your ears and listen to every sound and focus on any one sound and notice the same as tough nothing else exists in the world.
Set aside some time everyday or every week for this type of exercise and over a period of time you will develop this critical skill. This is also a kind of meditation and mental gym.
This is the quality of focus world class legends bring to their work! They become what they do!
