He might not be as well known as the ‘other’ Steve, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, but Steve Wozniak had just as much impact on the computer industry as we know it today. From designing over 50 mini-computers on paper in school, to founding Apple I and Apple II in the mid-1970s, Wozniak’s passion for the technology has forever changed the way the world does business.

Wozniak and Jobs began spending an inordinate amount of time together, talking, planning, and envisioning what they could achieve as a pair. And they never stopped building.

Steve Wozniak could not be considered a failure by any stretch of the imagination. However, he has experienced his fair share of failures in his life, and it is to those failures that he attributes his success.

Lesson #2: “Don’t think about the money you don’t have” - Click To Read Article
When Wozniak first started designing computers, he did not have much to go on. He knew he could put sketches down on paper, and they seemed plausible enough, but he did not know how to get from point A to point B, building a real computer.

Wozniak and Jobs first met in their high school computer club, Homebrew Computer Club, where, says Wozniak, they created a unique balance together: “I was shy, he was outward.” As the two worked together on Apple, this would morph into a new kind of relationship. “I created, he sold,” says Wozniak.

Wozniak is unique not only in his tremendous talent for building computers, but in the way in which he works.

Lesson #5: “It was fun for me” - Click To Read Article
Before he invented the Apple computer, Wozniak created the first ever dial-a-joke service. He took calls live from his small kitchen, or while lying on the mattress in his bedroom. They called; he would make them laugh. For an admittedly shy guy, this was a significant feat.

“Now computers are a big business,” says Wozniak. “Sometimes I wonder, ‘Am I the master of the computer?’ When we talked in our club, computers were going to be so simple to use that everyone was going to be a master and be able to create whatever they wanted to. Now I feel like a slave sometimes. I have to do it their way. It wasn’t the feeling we were after in the first days.”
