Steve Jobs founded apple in his garage at the age of 21. Steve Jobs had previously dropped out of Reed College and worked the night shift at Atari. He founded Apple with Steve Wozniak as the engineer and Ron Wayne as businessman. Their early Apple computers were popular with people who weren’t using them for serious business. Jobs wanted the computers to be make so that they would be difficult to repair ignoring Wozniak’s objections. Today apple maintains this policy with IOS and the apple ecosystem. The Apple lll was a hit and the company started to grow and Steve convinced the CEO of Pepsi to join as the new CEO while he worked on the Macintosh a revolutionary product that had disappointing sales. He was fired by his board of directors and so he subsequently sold all his shares of stock and founded NEXT and Pixar. He then sold those to Disney. He made a comeback to Apple as the company was struggling in the 90s and made one of the greatest comebacks in business history launched the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad. The company today is worth over 2 trillion USD and is the largest company in America and the largest company in the whole world. Steve’s success started from a young age and his ability to “think different”. Steve Jobs was a true revolutionary thinker in the entrepreneurial world and his success proves so.

Steve Jobs was truly a fighter when it came to the entrepreneurial scene, refusing to allow set backs to keep him down. He embodied the essence of entrepreneurship by refusing to give up, instead choosing to learn from his mistakes and do better going forward. He really was a different breed of CEO and entrepreneur.
I truly admire Steve Job’s ability to think incredibly differently and work exceptionally hard. His successes with NEXT, Pixar, and Apple are unthinkable, and, starting Apple in his garage at only twenty-one years old, he undoubtedly is insanely talented. He is able to break out of the thought processes of normality—that we can only do what others have done before.
Steve Job’s success story is truly one of the most inspiring ones out there. People using an idea to make a huge name and brand for themselves is the dream of many people, and it is something that God lifts up. Pushing through the ups and downs is a hard thing to do, but it will make everything worth it in the end.
