Steve Jobs, in addition to his influence in the world of technology, set the standard to follow in terms of image and marketing.
A young entrepreneur revealed that after following the advice of Apple founder Steve Jobs, she went on to earn more than $8 million a year.
Without a doubt, with the arrival of the pandemic, the trend of entrepreneurship began to grow considerably in various parts of the world. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), as a result of the health emergency, more than a billion full-time jobs were lost worldwide.
Similarly, information from the National Survey of Occupation and Employment (ENOE) carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), indicates that, in Mexico, by the end of 2021, 2.1 million people lost their jobs as part of the fallout from the pandemic.

The Association of Entrepreneurs of Mexico (ASEM) has revealed that there are more than 4.4 million micro, small and medium enterpriseswhich are driven by young entrepreneurs who, for the most part, range between 26 and 35 years of age (35 percent), followed by adults between 35 and 45 years of age (31 percent).
This is how Steve Jobs advised a young entrepreneur
Today, with technology at your fingertips, it seems that the possibilities are endless thanks to the number of platforms that are available in the market and with which you can create various initiatives.
Something like this happened with a woman named Alina Vandenbergheoriginally from Bucharest, Romania, who revealed how she came to speak with Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, and, with it, start earning the amount of eight million dollars a year. His story was told to CNBC.
The young woman said that she came to live in the United States in 2009 and, more than a decade later, became a co-founder and CXO (Chief Experience Officer) of a startup which has about 30 thousand customers.
Before starting a business, according to what Alina Vandenberghe relates, she worked as a software developer at the global news agency Thomson Reuterssite where you were asked to create a mobile app… it is here that the founder of Apple exerts his influence on the young entrepreneur.
And it is that, taking into account his story, Vandenberghe revealed that, under a confidentiality agreement, he established contact with Steve Jobs to ask for advice. The surprise would come when the employer would respond positively: “Keep it simple and create something that surprises them”, It was the advice that Jobs “gifted” to Alina Vandenberghe.
At this point, just over 10 years after his death, it would seem that it is superfluous to talk about Steve Jobs and the great influence he had -and continues to have- in the world of technology, even for those who do not sympathize and never They have done it with Apple.
Definitely, We are talking about one of the most influential characters in history and, without a doubt, a benchmark not only in terms of technology, but also of image and, above all, of marketingwhich is why it is not surprising that several of his belongings begin to be sold or auctioned at very high prices, regardless of whether they are Apple items or even personal use.
