For several years now, one of the most lucrative sectors that exists is technology. This is obviously the result of the growth and importance that all technology has acquired in our lives and day to day, but the truth is that not everyone who dedicates themselves to it becomes rich.
To reach the highest It takes a lot of work, sacrifice and effort, but also a bit of luck and being attentive. how user needs vary and evolve to find out what the next big technology product or service will be that will revolutionize the world.
A few years ago, Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, had a vision of what smartphones should be and what they should offer to users, and some time later, the iPhone is the industry’s benchmark phone, one of the best-sellers (despite its high price) and one of the few reasons why Apple is considered an industry leader.
The case of Sam Altman, one of the co-founders and current CEO of OpenAI, is similar, but in his case the bet was on artificial intelligence and although his ChatGPT was not the first to be launched, it is undoubtedly the most popular of this new “era of AI”.
But it wasn’t necessary for these two tycoons to be the smartest or most visionary people, which also, to get to where they are, but curiously enough They both share the same philosophy and a behavior that for some people might be a negative habit, but which led them to success.
The Habit Shared by Steve Jobs and Sam Altman
The first to tell it was Steve Jobs in an interview with the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association in 1994, and a few months ago, Altman, in a conversation with Bill Gates on the podcast “Unconfused Me,” reiterated that this habit had led him to where he is.
For both, much of their success is due to the fact thatThey always say what they want, It may sound simple, but following this principle head on and without fear of rejection opens many doors for you.”Ask for what you want. You usually won’t succeed, and the rejection will often be painful. But when it works, it works surprisingly well.” ” said Altman.
Apparently, this is the most frequently given advice to ensure that Many people find themselves trapped and spending their time doing activities they don’t enjoy because they don’t ask for what they really want.
Fear of rejection is normal, but in this life no one is going to give you anything as a gift, much less if you don’t ask for it, so if you want to thrive you have to put aside shame and fear and start asking for what you want, now this. By asking you lose nothing and you have everything to gain.
