Or, why you shouldn’t reinvent the wheel although you could …

But anyway, I was reminded of a Steve Jobs quote while taking a shower.

For the record, I dont like Apple – at all.

I’ve never owned an Iphone, never will either. I think they’re overpriced pieces of junk that dont work like they should, and Android in my opinion is FAR better and more powerful.

But of course, none of that takes away from Steve Jobs and his genius and his eccentricities, right down to “soaking his feet in the toilet bowl pedicure”.

Ugh.

But hey …

People do things that you’d never think – like the Bozo who “does it all secretly” and in the open he claims the exact opposite (except with a face so red you know you’ve “got him”).

At least Jobs admitted it!

Of course, without his success behind it, people would have labeled him a wacko and nothing else (and hard to get along with, and all the hate he gets).

But anyway, butts in toilet bowls (Bozo, not Jobs) or feet (Jobs, probably the Bozo in Brum too) aside …

“I’ve always been a shameless stealer of ideas”, Jobs once admitted.

Now, he is probably right!

I dont know what idea he “stole” or built upon for the MAc, or iphone, or what not … (well, not the iPhone, but whatever he built)

But he did a damn good job at building upon it – and marketing it – better than anyone ever had!

And made his millions.

“You can only connect the dots looking BACKWARDS, not forward”, this man once said.

“SO you have to trust in gut, karma, destiny, something, because at the end of the day trust and faith that it’ll work out is what keeps you going. This approach has made all the difference in my life!”

Amen!

I used the quote in my book – a non fitness related one.

I’ve lived my whole life this way, and plan on doing so for the rest of my time (quite long, hehe) on this earthly plane of ours …

He’s right too.

But point being this.

when I wrote a book on fitness, or even my other themed books, none of it was an original idea.

Fitness?

Hell, plenty done wrote books – plenty made their millions!

Pushups?

I’m hardly the first to either do’em or write a book on ’em and I freely admit it.

I might be a damn good marketer, yes.

But fact and point is THIS.

You can shamelessly “steal” if you prefer to call it that ideas – provided you do a damned fine job of making the final product on it better than anything else out there!

And THAT, my friend, at the end of the day is why people buy my “high priced” books.

“Other than XYZ who writes bodyweight exercise books, I’ve never seen anyone with books like yours and workouts as exhaustive and tough!”, said a customer (I’m replacing the name of the guy – a millionaire by now – with “XYZ”).

He’s right!

There is a reason and a damn good one at that I’m called the “guru of bodyweight training”.

And THAT, my friend is what you can – and should do too – no matter what your calling is.

Trust me, if you do it right – the world will thank you for it!

And I’m out. Back soon!

Best,
