"Steve Jobs's natural talent is to imagine not only what consumers want now but also what they will want in the future -- and pay a premium price for. He searches for discontinuities in the external landscape. He figures out trajectories of new opportunities" [...] (etc. etc. etc.)
This is a bunch of HR/marketing crap that doesn't offer any practical advice. If you want to reveal how Steve Jobs works, the least you must do is interview people who have worked closely with him. And then tell us something new, interesting, and applicable!
I've been told before success is simple: you focus and you be patient. So yes, you too can be an "overnight" success lauded and dissected by millions around the world when you spend your whole life on it.
