Similarities and Differences Between the Two Entrepreneurs
Both Steve Wozniak and Salman Khan were creative people. They thought of an idea and went with it. Both are also very passionate in what they do. Wozniak and Khan do what they do and they love doing it. If they didn't love what they do they would have stopped right away.
They are different because Steve Wozniak did it to make a profit and Salman Khan did it only to help people learn. Even though Wozniak didn't think he would make a lot of money of the Apple, he took the money that was given to him.
