7 Ideas to Innovate
"There's an old Wayne Gretzky quote that I love," Steve
Jobs said in 2007. "‘I skate to where the puck is going to be,
not where it has been.' And we've always tried to do that at
Apple. Since the very, very beginning. And we always will."

6.Be Addictive
7. Invest in Marketing
$730 billion in total annual U.S. marketing
expenditures
$7.6 estimate of annual nonprofit sector
In 2005 Save the Children (one of the
larger charity advertisers) spent about $6.4
million on advertising. The Walt Disney
Company — or Entertain the Children
spent about $2.4 billion — 359 times more
— about the equivalent of the difference in
height between the Sears Tower and a 4
year-old child.
It's a testament to the dearth of advertising
in the sector that the I.R.S. Form 990
doesn't even have a specific line item for
reporting it.
