1. I was most surprised that Steve Jobs become a billionaire from Pixar's IPO and not his Apple products. His stocks become worth $1.2 billion in 1995 after the success of Toy Story. I most admired Steve Jobs attention to detail. He was so precise and everything had to be perfect in his eyes. He would no put out a product just to make money, but rather he was looking to produce a product that he was valuable and perfect. He was not just in the business to make money. I least admired that Steve Jobs was very difficult to work with and he treated his employees poorly. He would fire them for no reason and would look down on them.
3. The part that still confuses me is how Steve Jobs snuck back control over Apple. I'm not sure how he was able to do that, and it wasn't really explained in the book.
4. Two Questions: What motivates you to be successful? What would you recumbent to a young kid about being an entrepreneur? I want to ask these two questions because as a young kid, I want to know what steps I could take to be motivated and become a successful entrepreneur.
5. I believe that Steve Jobs really values hard work. He seemed to always be working hard no matter what company. Steve Jobs was a very hard worker and probably resulted in him creating such a successful business. One must always work hard if they ever hope to achieve something in life, it will never just be handed to you.
Hey Nicole,
ReplyDeleteYour post provided some good information about Steve Jobs and his journey that I wasn't aware of. I agree with what you said about attention to detail, focusing on the smaller things are important and critical to the success of a business or idea. As with many successful businessmen, Steve Jobs obviously held hard work with great esteem. I like how you simply put it, you have to work hard to achieve something in life, I completely agree.
