Steve Jobs on Entrepreneurship
Jobs consistently treated entrepreneurship as action, not theory: ask for help, start before you feel ready, and keep going through failure. He also said founders need real passion for a problem, because perseverance is what gets a company through the hard parts. Across these recordings, Apple is presented less as a financial bet than as a product of agency, stubbornness, and building something useful.
“You've got to act.”
“About half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”
“The penalty for failure for going and trying to start a company in this valley is non-existent.”
