Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple was founded in 1976 and achieved profitability relatively early. Steve Jobs was relentless in his pursuit of perfectionism, understanding what customers wanted before they even knew they wanted it and delivering a delightful product was a big key to Apple's success. He was focused on evolving and delivering unique products.

Steve Jobs was a great example of a successful startup founder. He was willing to take risks and absorb failure. He also had a team in place to help keep him from spending the company into oblivion. This is a great example of having boundaries in place to put oneself in check. It is important to recognize what is outside of one's area of expertise and to find help from those who are knowledgeable.
