1] Do What You Love

Steve Jobs says he truly believes that people with a true passion can change the world for the better. New and creative ideas come to people who follow their passions with hard work and persistence.

2] Put a Dent in the Universe

This refers to the vision a person has about their business. Entrepreneurs need to widen their visions with innovation which allows them to see the potential in things that other people cannot see.

3] Kick Start your Brain

Steve Jobs once said that creativity was about connecting things. This means we must seek innovation and creative ideas from other industries as well. The inspiration for innovation can flow from anywhere and at any time. Steve Jobs was known for using ideas from other industries too and innovating them for his own purpose.

4] Sell Dreams, Not Products

This talks about innovation in the process of marketing. The idea is to make the customers feel a part of the company, i.e. a part of something bigger. Innovate the products that facilitate people in achieving their dreams. Steve Jobs never saw people who bought his products as consumers, but as geniuses themselves.

5] Say No to a Thousand Things

This principles of innovation speak about innovation by eliminating unnecessary things. The idea is to keep your products and their designs simple, functional and uncluttered. Innovation is not always elaborate, it can also lie in simplicity.

6] Create Great Experiences

Creating an emotional bond with your customers through innovation will ensure they have great experiences with your product and your brand. Take for example the Apple Store that Steve Jobs innovated. He made it an unbelievable retail experience for the buyers.

7] Master the Message

Steve Jobs is one of the worlds greatest storytellers. And with the help of innovation, he tells his stories through his products. His elaborate product launches and promotions were almost an art form. He made sure that his product was launched with innovation so as to get people excited about the product.

These seven principles of innovation by Steve Jobs can ensure that innovation becomes an integral part of the DNA of your company. A new and upcoming entrepreneur can learn a lot from these principles, and apply them according to his business.
