The entrepreneurial spirit isn’t just about money. It’s about building wealth through resources that only great relationships can bring. It’s about connecting the dots: those connection points ofintelligence, wisdom, desire and ability that are innate to people. It’s about having the intuition not only to know that they exist but also to know what to do with them to continuously cultivate
innovation and initiative. This is what Steve Jobs did every day of his life: he used his intuition to connect dots of opportunity that didn’t yet exist.
As we celebrate the life and legacy of Steve Jobs, ask yourself: how many dots are you connecting on a daily basis? Are you fueling the life of your ideas by being courageous enough to know where the dots exist? Or are you unknowingly giving your ideas to others to fuel their selfish agendas?
Steve Jobs was a community-minded leader who focused on the advancement of the world. He created products to inspire people to share and advance their own ideas. Steve Jobs cared about being significant at the risk of his own health
along the way.
As you think about the dots you want to connect in your life, I would like to share a quote from Steve Job’s Stanford University commencement speech in 2005:
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect
in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
It simple terms: Trust Yourself. Trust yourself to think big, make a difference and have an impact in everything you do every day for the betterment of a healthier whole.
You can’t do this alone. Steve Job’s gift was that he trusted himself enough to navigate his life’s journey in the face of tremendous adversity and along the way he created wealth and opportunities through the resources that only great relationships can
bring.
Thank you, Steve Jobs for trusting yourself
enough to connect dots that didn’t exist to
change the world.

'The dots' in 'Connecting the dots' isn't a technical term as some would think,it's little actions that ensure that you are moving, doesn't matter the distance you covered or the speed but just movement. Could be; 'attending that meeting, seeing that person who knows someone you really want to talk to, asking relevant questions, making a few calls, sending that email' anything at all that shows you're ready to leave that position you are and move forward.
Have a sweet Monday! I know I will!!
