( Take notes ↓) https://t.co/e95JzvCXx7
1/7: Mission Over Money
Elon Musk starts with a mission, then finds a business model.
He's passionate about making big societal impacts.
But, can you pursue great missions while also treating people with respect?
Yes, because dedication outshines desire for money. https://t.co/bZb32d6JN0
2/7: Manic Incrementalism
Elon obsesses over product improvement, embodying relentless pursuit of efficiency and rapid iteration.
Small, consistent improvements stack up, proving the power of persistence.
Aim for the 1% better every day. https://t.co/wuWuV6k3YI
3/7: Clear Thinking
Musk uses mental models to cut through complexity.
The "idiot index" and a five-step algorithm keep his businesses lean and efficient.
Simplify, then simplify again.
Complexity is the enemy of scale. https://t.co/SdIIFeiqJz
4/7: Know Your Game
Building a business doesn't mean following Elon's path to Mars.
Define success on your terms.
Maybe it's a lifestyle business that gives you freedom.
Understand your game to avoid chasing unwanted victories. https://t.co/Grro39dvB3
5/7: Embrace Failure
SpaceX's initial failures led to historic success. Failure teaches invaluable lessons.
If you're hesitating to start something new, remember: progress beats procrastination.
Start now, learn, and iterate. https://t.co/T469Qrj9mE
6/7: Question Everything
Most rules outside law and physics are flexible.
Challenge norms to achieve extraordinary results.
Following the crowd leads to average outcomes. Dare to be different. https://t.co/6kfqAe0wa8
7/7: Scale is Key
Success isn't just about the product, but the ability to produce efficiently on a large scale.
Consistency in action is crucial.
Keep pushing; every six months of steady effort sets you ahead of the pack. https://t.co/xCuc8VgS0X
