What are the factors that contributed
to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?
The
factors that Steve Jobs has contributed to be a technopreneur help him to be
successful in his life. He never quit because for him to quit is not a word for
him. The success that he had now, his Apple Company is his biggest price for
his life. These factors of being smart, the passion and the will power helps
him to think new ideas and create new things for he is great man and truly the
man who believes in himself that great things will be done when you believe in
yourself.
Although Steve Jobs has the factors that contributed of his success as a
technopreneur, he also has the factors that contributed to his failure as a
technopreneur. One of these factors is of his attitude. The attitude of being
so professional, he never thinks the emotions around him. His attitude of
having too much of perfectionist led him be failed because he never consider
how his employers felt the way he treated. Steve is very strict with his works
that he got angry when the works of his employee is not good. The boss must not
too strict with his employee instead treat them nicely so that they can work
with you with all their loyalty in your company. Another factor for his
failure is being high-tempered because once his employee do not pass with his
standard, he never consider reasons sometimes he fired that person with simple
failure with his employee. Another factor is his focus on such things. When he
created the Macintosh, Jobs forget his old creation which is the Apple II and
he gives more importance with the Macintosh. He is very confident and he
believes too much with his self that no one can defeat him. With this he made
the reason to fight the two creations and it opens the gate for Bill Gates and
friends to steal one of his creations which is the Macintosh.
Steve Jobs is not perfect but because of his determination on dealing with his
ideas and creation he becomes successful but sometimes because of his attitude
of being perfectionist he never looks on emotions on dealing with his employee.
Steve Jobs as technopreneur, he is a great man because he knows how to deal
business.

How do you see yourself as a
technopreneur?
How do I see
myself as technoprenuer? I may not say that I cannot be technoprenuer, but each
has the opportunity to be a technoprenuer but it is up to you if you wanted to.
I can say that I could see myself as technopreneur by thinking new ideas and
creates new technology and be in business. I know that being in business is not
easy like that. It is also a difficult line of work, example is with Steve
Jobs, he cannot be able have his success without the obstacles he has encounter
in business. In business you consider many things, you adjust, you think and
you must have the unique capabilities in order to succeed. In my school days and
summer days, I am in business, selling loads at boarding house and also in my
own place. It is hard to face people and tell they but I write into the paper
and I post in front of my house, please them to buy this and those but because
of this I learned to front with people and also give me confidence, dealing
with them, also talked to them without knowing them. In business, you will
learn a lot of things, experience a lot of things, having friends and able to
communicate ideas with other ideas. I see myself as technopreneur when I am
ready, when I have all the ideas, the factors that being a technopreneur must
have.
Business is
like earning money. I have to say that owning a business is an honor and to be
proud of. Today, if you do not have a bigger capital, you cannot have or build
your business. It is like if you do not have the materials you cannot do the
project. Business helps you to live in your life because it is the fruit why
you are here. Having your own business is not easy when you are in a big
business but if you are in a small business you can easily start with your
little business. Little business starts with small capital that is why you can
easily create one. Of course, when you want to have a bigger one or a big
business you need to have a big capital. In owning a business, you can decide
what you want to improve with your business. Also, in owning a business you can
do what you want or you can choose what must be done to your business.
------------------
Would you
take the same career path that Steve Jobs took?
Why or why not?
If you would
ask me if I would take the same career path that Steve Jobs took, I will say
no. Maybe yes if I have the chance or I have the factors that Steve Jobs had.
Why I say no, because Steve Jobs become successful of his attitude of being
perfectionist and I am different from him, I do not look myself so perfect but
I do wanted to achieve my goals in life. Likewise, I want to be successful but
in my own path, the path where I am comfortable with. Steve Jobs is greatly a pioneer
of his ideas and innovations. I do adore him in his career, in his passion, and
also his dedication in his works and everything that he have to pursue all the
things that he had made and the influences he have shared to others. Though
because of his being successful in life, the career path he had chosen, I will
not take the same career with him because I am not him and Steve Jobs is unique
and I am too. He has these distinctive capabilities that are actually rarely
from now. Somehow people become successful because of their own path they had
chosen and the attitude of being enthusiastic, determine on a certain goal and
has great mind, with this attitude maybe someday I can be Steve Jobs,
very successful someday in my own path.
