Default Creating a Reality Distortion Field

Hey all. One of the things I've read about Steve Jobs is his remarkable ability to create a "reality distortion field." In other words, he has such a strong ability to convey a vision that he sucks others into his reality vs. becoming a part of theirs. This seems like a very valuable skill to have (to say the least) and I'm in the process of pitching a very visionary idea to people. I'd love to develop myself more in the way.

Any suggestions?

Beware that imitating his persona isn't going to do you any good. Everybody knows who Steve Jobs is and nobody is interested in a cheap rip-off of the guy.

You could, however, adopt a few of the traits that (I think) help make him and his companies (yes, plural) so successful:

- Have an uncompromising do-or-die vision for all of your products
- Eat your own dog food a.k.a. be a rabid user of your own product
- Be genuinely enthusiastic about everything you do
