In a marketplace suffering from what I call in my presentations The Collective DeProfessionalization of Business and in a society struggling with The Mass Mediocritization of Humanity, we absolutely must behold the fiery passion Steve Jobs has for perfection. One former teammate said that part of his genius was his ability to spot defects instantly. I recently heard that he told his design team everything they produced needed to be “Museum of Modern Art-level quality”. His consumer goods needed to have a legendary UX. All devices needed to function excellently. And everything they touched had to be nothing less than gasp-worthy.Above all else, I believe, Steve Jobs was a hippie at heart. A man who wanted to release amazing things into the world. A maker who dreamed as few have and relentlessly stayed true to his ideals. Sure he was broken [aren’t we all?]. Yet, at his core, he was a human being who wanted to build a better world.

Hi, it's Robin Sharma and welcome to Daily Mastery. This is my short form podcast where I'll walk you through the insights, methodologies and tactics that I've shared with many of the world's most successful people as their mentor, including celebrity billionaires, NBA superstars, world class artists and global humanitarians. I hope you find great value in today's episode. It's Robin QAM, I hope you're doing super great. So when Steve Jobs is working with the design team to release the first Apple Macintosh, he wanted the inside of the computer so beautiful that it would bring tears to people's eyes.
And they said, you know, why does the circuit board have to be beautiful, Steve? And he said, because even though other people won't see it, we'll see it. And when he actually saw the final result, he was so impressed. He said to his design team and the engineers, he said, you know, sign the circuit board. And they said, why? And he said, because all artists sign their work. And the point I offer to you with great love and respect is this.
Everything you put out in the world is your art. And every time you release a piece of creativity or productivity in some way, you're signing it. So make sure it's world class, OK? Please share this with audio with someone who needs to hear it. I hope he received excellent value in today's episode of Daily Mastery, if you'd like to go deeper.
