Welcome back folks 🫡

This week’s Hyper Growth Blueprint covers:

• 🍎 The story of the mysterious apple founder…

Let’s go… 👇

Did you know THREE people actually founded Apple?

Everyone knows Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak…

But let me tell you about Ronald Wayne and how he faded into history after making a $345 BILLION mistake.

Wayne met Steve Jobs when they both worked at Atari.

They worked closely together, and when Jobs had the idea of starting Apple, Wayne got involved in the conversation.

Wayne was an engineer at heart too, but also brought some strong business acumen that complemented Jobs’ vision and Wozniak’s tech skills.

On April 1, 1976, Wayne drafted the partnership agreement that formalised Apple Computer as a venture between himself, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak.

Jobs and Wozniak each took 45%.

Wayne got 10%.

And they got to work… with Wayne even designing the first ever Apple logo.

Then the mistake came…

Wayne held his 10% share for a grand total of TWO WEEKS before he decided to sell.

Whilst the promise & idea of what Apple were going to do was great…

…he had been burned before by a previous venture and lost his money.

And he was terrified it was going to happen again.

So he sold his stake for $800.

Apple then did it’s thing…

…and today that same 10% would be worth over $345,000,000,000.

Yikes. 😬

Now I totally get it. 

Back in 1976, Apple was FAR from a sure bet.

And heck…

I’ve made more than my fair share of bad decisions that have burnt me in the past too.

But the only thing worse than getting burnt in the first place…

…is letting that experience burn you AGAIN by not pursuing a new opportunity.

And this might be the opportunity that changes everything for you.
