Thirty years ago today, a young Steve Jobs
stepped out on a stage,
unveiled the Apple Macintosh,
and rocked the world.
This unveiling accompanied what was undeniably
the most memorable and iconic product launch -
and example of epic storytelling - ever crafted.

This was so much more than a product launch ...
... it was the launch of a creative revolution,
ignited by a visionary ... a visionary
who believed that, despite the odds
of going up against the gian "Big Brother" (Big Blue IBM) -
that the right to create "insanely great"
work belonged to everyone (not just behemoth companies),
and Macintosh would unleash that creative power
in each of us.
Today, we remember Steve Jobs as a visionary
and multimillionaire success story ...
and today, Apple has now become
the most valuable company in the world.
However, as is true for all visionaries
(as we saw with Martin Luther King, Jr. yesterday),
Steve Jobs' revolutionary path to success was marked
by challenges and change, stunning ups and downs,
on his story arc of success.

In fact, 10 years after he launched the Macintosh,
Steve Jobs was fired by his own company, Apple.
Though he initially was devastated (who wouldn't be?),
in hindsight, Steve would later say this challenge
was the best thing that could have happened to him.
Moreover, he said it launched him
on most creative period in his life …
he started computer company Nexxt,
and a film animation company called PIXAR.
Funny thing – Apple bought Nexxt,
and placed Steve Jobs back at the helm.
And the rest is literally history -
as visionary Steve Jobs let Apple to craft success
after success after success
(from iPod to iPhone to iPad and more).
There's no question Martin Luther King, Jr. was a visionary.
There's no question that Steve Jobs was, too.
And if you have a VISION greater than yourself,
so are YOU.

“You’ve helped me earn 10x what I was previously charging for the same program…”
Prior to working with you, Julie Ann, getting a client was something that would typically take up to
2 months… now, after our work together, I just met with a CEO this week and in 5 minutes he understood I was the right person for him to work with. And at 10 times what I was charging previously for this same program! All this clarity and precision about my offers and value comes from the [Signature Genius] work we’ve done together – of asserting myself and believing in myself, and understanding of the specific value I bring and understanding exactly what I do.
