What's a business idea that no one thought would work but ended up being successful?

This is probably the most powerful line, you’ll here on the internet today.

“No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come”

And this legendary company was one of them.

Apple

In 1997, 21 years after Apple was founded, the company hadn’t yet established itself as the empire, that it is today.


The stocks were being traded below value, and the company was worth less on paper than its actual existence. Employees believed that they would be acquired by the Sun. Michael Dell had suggested that the company shut shop and return investments to stockholders.

It was then that Steve Jobs returned as interim CEO (after being fired in 1985). After launching an elaborate internal campaign and inspiring employees, he began building the brand that redefined personal computing.

Apple faced a lot of struggles in his early years, but see the fruitful results now. So, keep going on and believe in your vision. That’s all.

How did Steve manage to “Think Different?”

 

Steve was a dropout, a rebel, but most importantly, Steve was FREE!

Steve enjoyed complete self-governance, total independence to be himself, and would never conform to or follow the crowd.

Steve was not a people pleaser. He was driven by his passion and vision, NOT by other people’s opinions.

Why don’t we have more Steve’s in the world?

Our Industrial Age educational system has one mission to accomplish:

STANDARDIZE!

The educational system tells us what to think, NOT how to think.

Indoctrination is oppressive, it kills creativity and innovation.

Indoctrination has been an effective way to mold people to fit the “status quo” and NOT challenge it.

Why doesn't the world see more creative geniuses?

Because we’re expected to follow the crowd.

To answer the question, what made Steve Jobs so special?

Steve was FREE from indoctrination!

Real education teaches you how to solve problems, how to create things, and most importantly, how to THINK DIFFERENT!
