JOBS’ BRUTAL RULE FOR SUCCESS: “DO AS I SAY”

A former colleague recalls Jobs bluntly telling a room, “I don't give a shit what the students want... It's what I want.”

He called Jobs out: “Steve, you sound like such an asshole.” 

Jobs didn’t flinch.

He lived by a brutal 80/20 “signal to noise” rule, XX% focused action, XX% everything else.

He’d fire off emails at 2:30am and expect answers, no excuses.

The speaker says only one person beats that intensity: Elon, who runs on XXX% signal and zero distractions.
