Hi! Today from Prague. 
Today we will start with the first video in the series "What you should learn from Seteve Jobs"
Today we will talk about Steve Jobs and vision.
See you in the next part. 
3 apples changed the history of the world. 
The first apple was the apple given to Eve in the paradise. That seduced Eve.
The second apple was the apple that fell on Newton's head.
And brought laws of physics as we know them today.
And the third apple was the Apple created by Steve Jobs.
And this is what we will focus on today.
Steve Jobs is a great hero in my life. 
Roughly 10 years ago I was sitting with a friend in a coffee shop
And I asked him the question "Who in the world he would like to see, to meet and get to know?"
And he named me one of his heroes, the person he would like the most to get to know
And then he asked me the same quesion vice versa
And my answer was Steve Jobs.
Unfortunately Steve Jobs died one year later 
and I didn't have the opportunity to actually get to know him personally
I realized then that around me there were people who actually could bring me to Steve Jobs
And there is so much sudden dp/dt around that
and so much chance and so on...
I was talking about that in a separate video. I encourage you to watch this video.
I will connect it somewhere here and in the description below the video
Today we want to talk about vision.
About the first thing that you should learn from Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs was a man of great vision.
He saw opportunities, he projected his products in the future
He projected his vision in the future and made sure his products go in that direction
and become the incorporation of his vision, become the realization of his visions
The manifestations
And even if people around him didn't believe in that vision and didn't see as far as he did
It didn't discourage him in following that vision
And I will read you several sentences that he said during the inauguration of the first Mac 1984
He said "We are gambling on our vision an we would rather do that than make "me too" products.
Let's some other companies do that. For us, it's always the next dream.
And this vision, it was not only Apple
He had a great vision about every company, about every product he started.
When Steve Jobs was ousted from the company he created, from Apple Computers
He then created the next company, called Next Computers
And this company was actually also a great breakthrough
First of all he created an operating system that later was bought by Apple
And that later allowed him to get back to Apple
or to force Apple to take him on board again
Second of all, Next Computers were instrumental in the development of Internet as we know it today
Tim Berners-Lee set up the first website on a Next computer
Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of world wide web. 
And I remember this was actually one of the first Apple computers I got in touch with
at my university in the States, University of Oregon. 
And we had Next Cube computer in our math department
And that's where I developed also my first website, my first personal website
I set up on Next Cube in the States
and just one year later I was able to found my first e-commerce company
It was the first online shop for sporting goods in German-speaking market.
But at that time I didn't know it was created by Steve Jobs 
and I didn't know anything about the history of Steve Jobs and of Next Computer
And I wasn't aware of te fact that Next Computers were actually creation of the same guy
who created Apple
And then shortly after ousting Steve Jobs from Apple he acquired the team of 20 engineers
Film engineers, film industry engineers for 5 million dollars from George Lucas
And he had a vision to create the best animation company in the world.
The most sophisticated and also the most valuable company in the world.
And he wasn't taken seriously, because in 1986 the technology wasn't that far.
Nobody could imagine you could animate full movies on a computer
You could create blockbusters on a cumputer
And I will read you another quote from his co-founder of Pixar.
Because this company I'm talking about is Pixar.
And the quote goes as follows:
"Steve Jobs was extraordinary visionary, our very dear friend and the guiding light of the Pixar family.
He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined."
And this is the sign of visionary, to see further than anyone else
And to make this vision happen. And guess what. 
He bought the 20 engineers from George Lucas for 5 million dollars
And 20 years later in 2006 Steve Jobs sold Pixar to Disney for 7.4 billion dollars. 
This is how visionaries think and this is how you become a billionaire.
You may say this is clear you have to be visionary, you have to think long term, 
and to have great dreams, big visions and make them real  
but I will give you an example of somebody who wasn't visionary
Who was at the right time in the right place, he knew the right people
Many people say "To be successful in business you need to be at the right time 
in the right place, know the right people, and so on, and so on...
But there was a co-founder of Apple that you may not know
People know about Steve Jobs, people know about Steve Wozniak
but hardly anybody knows about Ron Wayne
Ron Wayne was a co-founder of Apple and he owned 10% stake in Apple
In 1976, when Apple was founded, he just decided to cash out.
At that time I think they invested maybe alltogether $2,000-$3,000 to start the company
Together with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak
But Ron Wayne shortly after that decided to cash out
And he sold his 10% stake for $2,300.
I will say it again: 10% of Apple for $2,300.
It was before actually the business took off and he said, I will quote:
"I'm certainly not going to waste my tomorrows worried about my yesterdays.
It's wasteful use of energy and productivity. 
He wasn't a visionary, he didn't believe in the vision of Apple
In the vision that Steve Jobs full-heartedly believed
If he kept his 10% stake, of course he would be dilluted a little bit in the later years
But generally he would have a huge stake in the most valuable company in the world
Today 10% of Apple would mean over 100 billion dollars
He would be one of the top 3 most richest people in the world
Of course, let's say, he would be dilluted
Nevertheless he would become a multi billionaire. 
So, the difference between having a vision and not having a vision 
is the difference between $2,300 and billions of dollars. 
So, if you want to go in the direction of billions of dollars. 
If you are thinking of reaching a billionaires status.
Or if you're asking yourself, what is the difference between averge entrepreneurs or the loosers
and the billionaires
This is one of the main differences. 
The vision. 
You can be at the right spot, in the right place, you can know the right people. 
You can even found the right company
But if you're not visionary, it won't help you. 
You won't endure through all the ups and downs, you'll lose your motivation
You will loose your zeal and you will never become that wealthy
You will never become that successfull. 
As you see, I am on the Charles Bridge in Prague
And why am I telling you this from Prague? 
I just want to encourage you visit the Apple Museum here in Prague 
Very nice. They have a collection of almost all Apple products
And even the products you may not know about. 
And I encourage you also to generally visit Prague, it's a great town. 
I am here for the 4th, maybe 5th time already. 
I was giving a TED Talk here. I invite you, by the way, to my TED Talk
I will include here the link to that and also in the description.
TED Talk is about how to do impossible things in your life
The title is "Impossible is easier than you think". 
So, if you liked this video, give me a thumb up. 
If not, of course, thumb down. 
I invite you to comments, what do you think about that? What's your perspective? 
What's your experience? Share this video with your loved ones, with your friends. 
One day they will thank you for that
I talk here about the best entrepreneurs in the world, how they think, how they act
I talk about money, I talk about economy 
And I talk about doing great, audacious, impossible things in life. 
See you from Prague. I wish you a fantastic day today. 
Let's do something extraordinary today!
