Everything Jobs said in that speech is true, but if Steve Jobs had only invented a braille computer for the blind, none of us would know who he is. Not that there isn't a market for that, but there are only so many blind people on earth who would buy his product. Unless he diversified and made other things in addition to that, his growth potential would be extremely limited.
You can be the smartest, most driven, most passionate person on earth, but that isn't going to change the fact that only so many people will need your product. So you had better have a lot of desirable products or a very good one that
everyone needs if you want true growth. Of course you also need the ability to hold it all together, but that goes without saying.
