Introduction
This case study is about my career goal after completion of graduation, which is to become a successful businessman and how I will accomplish my goal. The basic reason why I want to become a businessman and that too in the top ranks is because I am greatly impressed by Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computers with Steve Wozniak. Under Jobs' guidance, the company made the iPhone and iPad. He started with an idea, and had the willpower to do things, to bring change to the world. With constant hard work and perseverance he achieved his goal. I also aspire to do something as big as him.

Acre Farms CEO Dan Horan said, “Simplicity is really important. It’s got to be simple, and sometimes to make something simple you have to really, really study everything about it. It might turn out to be complex, but you have to present it simply, particularly when it comes to people: when people buy something, they don’t want a lecture.”
• Your time is a precious commodity. Hello Design CEO David Lai said, “When I was growing up my father would always tell me, ‘We all only have 24 hours a day. ’It’s what we choose to do with that time that defines us. It’s the one thing you can never get back.”
• Insults can be the best advice. Real estate tycoon Barbara Corcoran said, “My best advice was an insult. It’s kind of weird. The best advice was the worst advice. It was from my boyfriend and partner in my first business when he told me I would never succeed without him. I was injured, no doubt. But thank God he insulted me because I would not have built a big business without that. It kept me trying everything because I couldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing me fail.

However, Steve Jobs had a dream. He had a dream to create and build upon technology. Doing just that him and his partner Steve Wozniak created the first Apple computer. This computer did so well he was a millionaire by the time he was 23. For a short time he left Apple and got a share in Pixar.

One must become informed to improve the chances of having wealth and happiness in the pursuit of owning or managing a business or corporation.

These great men all blazed their own trails and built up some of the most successful businesses in American history. Through hard work and perseverance, Disney created one of the most revolutionary entertainment companies in history; Gates gave everyday Americans the power of the computer;
A few quotes that I personally related with was, “Don’t complain, just work harder.” and “we cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.” Randy Paush’s, The Last Lecture, is an informational memoir based on the last lecture he gave that was about the power of childhood dreams and the value of achieving them. This book is filled with ideas and observations that Paush wanted to share with his children after he was gone. He was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and only had months to live.
Another advice Ajahn Brahm gave was that “your future peace, health and
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the founders of Apple, shared many of their traits, but they differed in many others as well. Steve Wozniak started getting interested in electronics at an early age and thereby became a pure breed engineer. He always loved engineering and creating and his goal was never to make a big profit, but rather to amaze people by his designs. Ethics also played a huge role in Steve Wozniak’s life and his strong views on the topic were always apparent during his time at Apple. For example, when early apple employees were, in his opinion, treated unjust with regards to Stocks, he sold his own stocks for a below market price to them in order to make things right.
Who is this man behind all the popular social technology inventions? Steve jobs is the creator of I phone and the brand of Apple. He has built the most valuable corporation in the world.

"If you do not prioritize friends, family, loved ones, pets, plants, hobbies while working on a start-up, they will all decay and all you will be left with is a startup." - Ted Rheingold, VP Social of Say Media and founder of Dogster, Inc. Startup founders are among the hardest working people on the planet – right? Most people – especially entrepreneurs have always celebrated the hard slog. Superstar entrepreneur Elon Musk is reported to have advised “Work like hell” and in a case of leading by example drove himself close to a nervous disorder after working 100 hour weeks regularly.
What’s hard is tuning out all the distractions – market predictions, economic headlines and product pitches – that can throw an investor off course. If you can ignore the noise and stay invested through good times and bad, you will be amazed at the wealth you can build. Another lesson I learned was that, it’s not necessary to take on a lot of risk in order to generate attractive returns. In life, we’re taught that success comes to those who work the hardest.
