Without a doubt Steve Jobs will go down in history as the greatest creative entrepreneur in history, rivalled only by Thomas Edison. He is one of only a handful of people to ever build more than one business worth over a billion dollars and his creations have been revolutionary.
After creating the first personal computers and building a billion dollar company while still in his 20’s, Jobs was fired from Apple at age 30.
Steve Jobs went on to acquire Pixar from George Lucas which released Toy Story, a blockbuster success at the box office. After growing and merging his second Billion Dollar Company, he became the single largest shareholder of Disney.
He then returned to the stagnating Apple Corporation in 1997, where the innovative iTunes and iPod combination resurrected the failing technology giant.
From strength to strength he went on to use the innovations he pioneered after being fired to create the most respected opperating system in personal computing and bring the Mac range of computers back to life.
After that, he set about creating a device that would fundamentally put a computer in your pocket as well as a phone. Some say, the iPhone has become the most game-changing device since the PC.
Apple has become the worlds most respected brand for innovation and under Steve Job’s tenure this business has become the worlds most iconic brand in just over 10 years.
This inspiring entrepreneur has transformed the way the world relates to computers, movies, music and phones!
Not only has Steve Job’s story inspired millions of entrepreneurs, his innovations have become the platform of choice for some of the most creative people on the planet as well.
Let’s hope Steve Jobs returns to good health and can continue his legacy as one of the most ingenious creative forces on the planet.
The video above shares some of the critical moments that have shaped Steve Job’s life and indeed billions of people worldwide.
