While searching for financial success in business, investing, or your most secret strategy, narrow your daydreams to these aspects to maximize success:

1. DREAM BIG: Apple’s innovations come from creativity that no one else considers. They don’t settle on only producing computers identical to those of everyone else’their computers and their products are vastly different
2. FOCUS YOURSELF: Apple doesn’t sell fuji apples; they’re sticking with technology. The company is good at what they do. You want to do something you excel at, too. The bonus toward success is that you also like… LOVE what you do.
3. FIND PASSION: Don’t settle for being mediocre
4. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN: Watch for opportunity. And watch for threats. (See the post “Marketing 101 with your SWOT“)
