If some #iOS app on your phone immediately quits after you start it this might help:

- Settings
- General
- iPhone Storage
- Select the app
- Offload app
- Reinstall app

In my case, this worked for #Things3 today. It saved me from uninstalling it and setting up all widgets again!

The most important aspect Jeff Bezos mentioned in the 1997 Letter to Shareholder for the growth of Amazon was word of mouth.
He called it the “most powerful customer acquisition tool they had”.

“Some of these investments will pay off, others will not, and we will have learned another valuable lesson in either case.”

This was part of Jeff Bezos Letter to Shareholders in 1997.
Be bold, try out different things and learn from your failures to reach successes in the future.

Paying employees partly in stock options because “each of whom must think like, and therefore must actually be, an owner”.

Pretty progressive thinking for 1997. This in my opinion is one of the biggest factors how Amazon got so successful.

Stories are the single most powerful weapon any leader can arm themselves with – they are the currency of humanity. Those who tell captivating, inspiring, emotional stories rule the world.

I‘m currently listening to the biography of Steve Jobs.

In it, he tells an important life lesson he learned from his father. If you are a carpenter, also the backside of a cabinet, which nobody ever sees, deserves the same build quality as the rest of it…
