There are many routes to success in the business world, but learning from those who have gone before you and reached the top is always an opportunity you don’t want to miss.

Steve Jobs is a man who has inspired millions with his words, and his advice sums up the creative spirit that helped Apple to keep on reinventing itself and pushing the boundaries: “I think if you do something pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful. Not dwell on it for too long, just figure out what’s next.”

Jobs always figured out what was next and that’s what helped him and Apple change the way the whole world communicated. Jeff Bezos, meanwhile, changed how we shop and his career advice is to stay flexible when trying to problem-solve: “If you’re not flexible, you’ll pound your head against the wall and you won’t see a different solution to the problem you’re trying to solve,” said the Amazon boss.

Having that confidence to put yourself out there will benefit your career in many ways and is something most of these founders have needed in order to get where they are today.

You can read these tips and more, in this guide. So why not see which you can apply to your career ambitions?
