Prioritize ruthlessly.
from Steve Jobs - Habits and Principles by Steve Jobs
“Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do. It’s true for companies, and it’s true for products.”
Jobs always followed this principle, which is why Apple only has a few product lines. Apple could create many more products, for example, computer printers, but this would divide the company’s attention.
