Good Advice from Steve Jobs
Shortly after Mike Parker became CEO of Nike, he called his old friend Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and asked for some advice. Job’s answer was short and sweet:
“‘Nike makes some of the best products in the world. Products that you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff.’ Parker said Jobs paused and Parker filled the quiet with a chuckle. But Jobs didn’t laugh. He was serious. ‘He was absolutely right,’ said Parker. ’We had to edit.’”
Take that advice to heart and apply it to your business. I know I’m going to.

Mike Parker needs to pick up the phone (hopefully not an iPhone) and call Jobs back. “Hey Steve, remember that advice you gave me a while back….?”

That is some excellent advice. Sometimes it is better to let go of what doesn’t work in favor of what does.
