Why Apple Focuses on the Fundamentals

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about innovation. Sometimes, understanding that which doesn’t change is just as important.

Real long-term success requires a strategy that’s built around a few key principles; eternal truths about your industry that aren’t subject to the whims of the market. No matter what, consumers will always want their food to be tasty, their apps to be user-friendly, their trains to be on time. 

So when you’re trying to come up with that unique “twist” on a product, start with the unchangeables.
