“Elon Musk was the single most influential person of our entire century.” He has been able to do more in his 46 years than most of us could hope to do in ten lifetimes and yes, part of that is because Elon is incredibly smart and he works incredibly hard. …and we’re so hot up; we had just one computer so the website was up during the day and I was coding at night. …work hard like it mean every waking hour; that’s the thing I would say if your particular if you’re starting a company. But working 100 hours a week still only puts you at two-and-a-half times as much as the average employee.
Influence other people
And most geniuses do not make the international impact that Elon has. So while smarts and work ethic are critical to Elon’s success, in order to impact the world, you simply have to be able to influence other people; there’s no way around it. That includes employee investors and the public at large and Elon Musk is unique here because on this channel, we can normally point to a leader’s ability to nail a public speech.
Elon Musk had an incredible work ethic
Elon Musk had an incredible work ethic and handled 3 companies even he was a father of 5 children. But that brainpower and hard work is not enough to avoid failure.
The time when his SpaceX launch failed
An absolute component of achieving high is hidden in perseverance in the face of failure and Elon Musk failed particularly many times. During the failure of SpaceX, he lost about 100 Billion dollars and went bankrupt.
Risk of failure
Business failure would not bother Elon Musk as the failure of doing something exciting and challenging. People who achieve high things do not take in account business or social risks. Not doing a deepful, meaningful work is far worse for them.

A clear vision for the future
Without a clear vision for the future, it’s really hard to care more about inspiration than paying your rent. A leader must be able to paint a picture of the desirable future.
Elon’s visions are not just about him
Elon’s visions are not just about him. He says that if other companies compete his Tesla, he will not feel bad and would be applauding for the better service the other company has to offer to the world. Your vision can only be as inspiring as the amount of people that it positively impacts.
Clarify your values. Imagine an amazing future.
