[Ipg-smz] What advice would you give Jony Ive on his departure from Apple?

[Phil Shapiro]

This is the advice I'd give him - 

1. Don't forget to invoice Apple for the work you do for them. 
2. Take some extra pens from Apple before you start your new company. You're 
going to need some pens at your new company. 
3. If Apple needs to talk to you in person about something, always offer to fly 
over in your Gulfstream jet. 
4. Now that you're not an Apple employee, it's the perfect time for you to say, 
"I'll see if I can fit in some time for you on that." Use your British accent. 
Say the phrase nice and slow. 
5. Ask Apple if they can give you a discount on some Macs. You're going 
to need a couple of computers at your new company. 
6. If you're going to do serious design work, try to find an office location near 
a good Chinese take-out food place. 
7. Keep your desk tidy. How many times do I need to tell you? 
8. If you need a good designer at your new company, hire one. 
9. Make sure you update your LinkedIn profile. Nobody will ever know 
you started your own company unless you update your LinkedIn profile.
