Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

At $60 Billion (In Apple Stock Only) Ronald Wayne would be the 5th wealthiest person in the world behind Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Warren Buffett and Amancio Ortega. Fifth Wealthiest in the world!!!

But what does he do now? He sells stamps and rare coins. That one decision totally changed everything! And what's worse? He resisted Steve Jobs' attempts to get him to return!!!

You can't really blame him. Not everyone is cut out for entrepreneurship, it comes with a lot of stress even when you're successful. but a couple billion dollars can go a long way in helping you cope with the stress.

No one can blame him. It's not like he knew one day Apple would be this big.

After all, in hindsight, we are all geniuses.

We should also remember that the same equity robust returns can be easily wiped out in a few minutes/hours/days when the market runs out of faith.

Ronald Wayne says he has no regrets he made the "best decision with the information available to me at the time"

when Steve Jobs was fired as CEO back in 1985, Jobs sold one million, four hundred and ninety-nine thousand and ninety-nine shares of his stock. He only kept one share so he could continue to get his annual report.Asked if he had any regrets he said

"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me….Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful…that’s what matters to me” 1993 interview with Wall street Journal

It was the same thing James Mwangi said that money is only important for paying bills. You wear one shirt, sleep on one bed drive one car at a time.

What really matters is playing the game not keeping the score. That is the thrill

He didn't have to do anything!!!!

He could have walked and kept the 10%. And in any case, his JD was to provide administrative oversight. But even after leaving, he couldn't have lost his 10%.

See this story on the Graffiti artist who painted Facebook offices and chose to be paid in shares instead of $60,000/=. At the time of the Facebook IPO, those shares were worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Graffiti Artist could be worth $500 million!

@mkonotupu - Do you know which people claim money is not important?? People with ridiculous amounts of money!!!
