16 Year Old Makes Million Following Steve Jobs by Suzannah B. Troy


Gizmodo reports a British teenager, 16 year old Christian Owens, has made his first million modeling himself after Steve Jobs.  This article is as entertaining to read as the news of this ambitious teenager from Corby, Northamptonshire.

Essentially he bought a Mac Book at age 13 and taught himself web design.  Owens than copied "Mac Heist" idea or should I say was greatly inspired but he made it his own calling his product, "Mac Bundle". Sounds like a hamburger special at McDonald's but this ambitious teenager is  bundles applications and he is a smart young man.  He negotiated a deal where he could sell the bundle discounted and if x amount where sold every buyer would get a free application inspired word of mouth sales which of course is the best, another feature Apple is famous for....happy customers.

Read the Gizmodo for how Christian Owens already reinvested his earnings in to another start-up company which sells advertising.  When Christian Owens was asked what is the secret to his success.  His secret to success? There's no secret, he says:

"There is no magical formula to business, it takes hard work, determination and the drive to do something great."
For Apple Lovers here is my blog post from Apple's new release of products that continue to revolutionize our world.
