“I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”

Words by Steve Jobs (1955-2011) — Co-founder of Apple.

About this quote

Steve Jobs suggests that talent and innovation alone do not guarantee business success. Building a venture involves constant setbacks, stress, and doubt. The crucial difference between those who build lasting enterprises and those who fail often comes down to tenacity. Simply refusing to give up when things become difficult is at least as important as having a great original idea.

Jobs stated this during an interview with the Smithsonian Institution in April 1995. He reflected on his career between his initial time at Apple and his work with NeXT and Pixar, highlighting grit over raw intellect.
