Wish I Was More Woz

November 6th, 2008

Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple), gave a keynote speech in Miami yesterday at Software AG’s Innovation World.

“You don’t have to convince people to do everything like you. Do what you want to do–you have to know who you are,” he said.

He developed a theme that a lack of resources - specifically a lack of money - forces you to find new ways to get a job done.

Whenever I’ve wanted to try and find some really new ideas, I try and find a way to do big sweeping projects with as few resources as possible. This then leads me to finding a whole bunch of components I need to make it happen, all of which are potentially stimulators for whole new projects in themselves.

When you want to innovate, think small.
