More generally I made an effort to leave out things that weren't relevant to the main narrative themes of the book namely that there were two sides to Steve Jobs: the romantic poetic countercultural rebel on one side and the serious businessperson on the other.

I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.

I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.

As a small businessperson you have no greater leverage than the truth.
