Risk taker

There are many traits that suit and define successful entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs but one of the unique traits that attracts you and makes admire this man is his risk taking ability. Mostly Successful entrepreneurs are risk takers who are not afraid of failure. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they rush in with reckless abandon.  In fact, entrepreneurs are often successful because they take calculated and moderate risk which makes them able to make the best decisions in even the worst of cases. However, they also accept that, even though they might make a very good decision they can still make errors as things don’t always go according the way you plan thus they might fail in one way or another which is for them a quality that they have which they are not afraid to admit. If you've heard the old saying, "nothing ventured, nothing gained," that's exactly what the likes of Steve jobs are trying to say do not be afraid to fail, put it out there and give it your best shot.

 If we look at some of the risks Steve job took in order to become successful is when he first dropped out of school in order to persuade which he loved and was passionate about all his life. He abandoned his academic studies because he couldn’t pay the expense and also believing that there is another way to make it or different path for him to persuade. Instead he attended drop-in classes in topics he liked while sleeping on a friends dorm. He was very low on financially and described his situation like someone who gets free meal a week from Hare Krishna Centre. Being someone who is unwanted by his own biological parents who given him up for adoption yet he never gave up. 

He was a very good at taking appropriate risks and in fact had so much confidence in doing that.  “People with determination are willing to proclaim risk taking, and have the ability to maintain in the face of obstacles (Northouse, 2013).” In Steve Jobs life , he faced so many obstacles which made him who he was and created the legacy he left behind for instance; he had to compete in a market full of big companies such as IBM which during 1970’s ruled the computer industry. But with determination and being risk taker as usual Jobs then founded the computer company Next and co-founded Pixar which again created more jobs. In these scenarios we learn that being open risk taker who is not afraid to fail and try again proved to be a valuable trait in Steve jobs throughout his lifetime and he never doubted his abilities but rather he continued to revolutionize the computer industry until he become successful.
