Steve Jobs’ Mindset for Success

RJ Hamster

12 months ago

Hey there,

As a cofounder at Apple, Steve Jobs had a lot on his plate.

It was enough stress to make the average person drop to their knees and crumble, unable to meet the expectations that were placed on them…

Steve Jobs knew this, but he was able to block all of it out with one simple mindset shift.

If you could adopt the same mindset that he used to run one of the biggest tech companies in the world, just imagine how powerful you could be in your day-to-day tasks and projects…

Popularized by Eckhart Tolle, this simple mindset shift has helped tens of thousands of people transform their lives, and it can do the same for you.

This mindset revolves around ‘living in the now’…

But before you think of this as just another cliche, allow me to explain why this helped Steve Jobs become one of the top achievers the world has ever seen…

‘Living in the now’ is a way to bring yourself back to the present moment, allowing you to find peace and clarity amidst the chaos. It’s about acknowledging and accepting your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

It means to be fully present, aware of where you are and what you’re doing, not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around you.

Now, here’s the good news: You can adopt Steve’s mentality and start ‘living in the now’ as soon as today, and it doesn’t require any drastic changes to your life.

Here are a few simple practices to get you started:

1. Mindfulness Bell:

Set a few alarms on your phone before the day starts. When you get these alarm notifications, consciously take a few moments to think about everything you’re experiencing in that present moment.

Everything from what you see, what you smell, how your body feels, all of it. Deeply embed yourself into the ‘now’. You’ll be shocked at how much better you feel.

2. Practice Gratitude:

This is one of, if not the biggest key to transforming the way you feel (mentally) on a day-to-day basis.

And when your mind is right, everything else will begin to fall into place.

We’ve outlined, in depth, everything you can do to make gratitude a huge piece of your life in our Gratitude Sidekick Journal.

This practice helps shift your focus from what’s wrong in life to what’s going right, and you won’t believe how much it will change your outlook on life…

3. Start Meditating:

At a set time everyday, take just 5-10 minutes to get to a quiet place, close your eyes, and just be present with your thoughts. Think about your struggles, and really dissect them. Think about the simplicity of life, and everything that’s going well for you.

We’ve also given you an in-depth way to master meditation and make it one of your greatest assets in our Meditation Sidekick Journal.

Jerica S. struggled with different meditation methods for years before getting our journal. After using it for just a few weeks, she sees meditation in a new light, and even enjoys doing it.

Remember, living in the now is a practice, and like any other skill, it takes time to develop. Be patient with yourself and know that each moment is a new opportunity to start again.

But you can see drastic differences in your quality of life by simply implementing these practical tips today.

Wishing you peace and presence,
The Habit Nest Team

P.S. Another great way to master mindfulness and ‘living in the now’ is by starting your morning off strong.

By being mindful, grateful, and ‘in the now’ as soon as your day starts, you’re much more likely to have a great rest of your day…

We’ve outlined exactly how to do that effectively with our Morning Sidekick Journal.

The best part is that it only takes 5 minutes each day, and it can have a profound impact on your quality of life.

Our Mission. Our mission is to support humans in pursuing their goals through tools that foster consistency and structure.
Why You’re Probably Here & How We Can Help. Humans adapt new habits because they want to feel good. They want to alleviate other issues taking up real estate of the mind (mental health, physical health). They are inherently optimistic because they believe and hope they can change positively. They know if they put their mind to something, then it can happen – so they start off strong but quickly their consistency diminishes. Life gets in the way. They tell themselves: “I’ll get back on track tomorrow.” “I don’t have the time now. I don’t have the energy now. I don’t know how to give myself structure.” “Maybe if I had an accountability buddy.” “Maybe if I had a fancy sleep tracking ring.” “Maybe if I write a motivational post-it on my computer, it’ll help.” Maybe this. Maybe that. And then they fall out of the improvement loop, leaving the resolution unfinished. However. When someone is matched with an authentic tool that gives them consistency, structure, and the why behind all of the steps, then they are already 75% on the way to meeting their goal. But such tools are hard to find. If they provide habit tracking, they don’t provide compassion when there’s a day or two that goes by without tracking. If they provide knowledge and science, they don’t provide a practical structure. Habit Nest has created a suite of accessible habit-forming tools to cater to the individual seeking guidance in consistency, and can bring them true results with mindfulness on their side.

Frequently Asked Questions: What are the journals made from? The journal is built with a beautifully crafted synthetic leather (100% vegan) cover that’s textured to the touch in a hearty, canvas-like material. The inside pages are a buttery smooth 100 GSM that are the perfect mix of thick enough to support fountain pens while still keeping the journal light and portable. Can I choose a different color for my journal? We don’t, unfortunately, offer any other colors. What some folks do, however, is cover their journal, like we did with textbooks back in the day. What’s the difference between the app and the journals? The app is our journals in book form. There are some similarities with content, but we added some new stuff all over the place. The subscription is for *all* habits, not just one habit at a time and you can do as many simultaneously as you’re comfortable with. We are planning on releasing new habits every couple of months as well. Currently, the app has: Morning Sidekick Journal Volumes 1-3 Gratitude Sidekick Journal Volumes 1-3 (volumes 2 & 3 are brand new!) Sleep & Evening Routine Sidekick Journal Volumes 1-3 (volumes 2&3 are brand new!) Nutrition Sidekick Journal Volumes 1-3 (volumes 2&3 are brand new!) Meditation Sidekick Journal Volumes 1-3 (volumes 2&3 are brand new and we added some awesome guided meditations that are totally different and way more in number than appeared in volume 1 of the print copy) Healthy Screen Time Usage (brand new, not yet in print!) Stretching (brand new, not yet in print!) Yoga (brand new, not yet in print!) Home Organization (brand new, not yet in print!) Our fitness journals will be added very soon too. What’s the difference between the PDFs and journals? The PDF is exactly the same as the physical journal, it’s just in digital format so you can fill it out on a laptop or tablet (some folks have success using their phones, but depending upon the journal, it can be a pretty big file). You can also print out different pages as you want them. 🙂 Your journals are too expensive. First and foremost, thank you so much for checking us out! If you select “journal only” or “PDF only” from the dropdown, the cost goes down. ” Here’s why they are not crazy cheap, though: 1. These are a hybrid of a book with real life, actionable content you can use immediately AND a guided journal, not just a blank journal. 2. Each journal is made of high quality materials (e.g. thick paper that you can use “the good pens” on and sturdy, hard covers) 3. We don’t sell the journals and tell you to figure it out. You have a whole team of folks who are available to support you along your journal journey. If you purchase the hard copy journal and find that it just doesn’t work for you, we have a 60 day refund, no matter what condition it’s in. 🙂 Any questions? Email us at support@habitnest.com. We’re happy to help.I have product suggestions/edits/other input. Wohoo! WE LOOVE hearing from you, good/bad/otherwise. YOU are who we are making these for and we want to create the best product we can. Never hesitate to reach out with any and all feedback you have at support@habitnest.com. We appreciate you! Do you sell the WGBJ/MSJ volumes 2, 3 and 4 separately? This is something we talked a lot about, but it simply became too hard to balance inventory levels / forecast demand for all 4 books and volumes separately, so we chose to sell them as a bundled, discounted set only, which has made logistics SO much simpler. We did price these so that our volumes 2-4 that are super-discounted, though!
