The post title is about big dreams. Jobs could have thought "Michael Jackson would be great to have but he's too big of a star and would never agree, so let's settle for Herbie Hancock instead". The outcome would have been exactly the same. Instead, Jobs wanted it to happen, and Mark didn't know any better so he tried to make it happen. And guess what... it would have happened, if only for the budget mismatch. That in and of itself would be a nice historical story and no takeaway is required. However, if you insist on there being a takeaway, then try this one on for size: don't put artificial limits on what you think is possible. Move forward and make it happen as your assumptions about what is possible and what isn't are probably wrong.
