Before anyone starts on what a shitbag he is.
Let's look at the level of professional success, From Boston to Bombay and beyond.
We can all agree that Elon is right at the front of the race to succeed in business and move the needle of progress for humanity.
In addition to being one of the wealthiest on the planet, he is also one of the most successful.
But he has also had several failures behind him.
1. Tesla was initially a massive failure at the start
2. He was rejected from several tech jobs, most notably Netscape
3. He was booted out as CEO at ZIP2
4. There was a strong belief that space X would fail
5. PayPal was shot down in flames at its earliest stages.
So, what mindset do you need to cultivate to be the Captain of your destiny?
No matter the hard path, no matter how significant the obstacles are, you must keep travelling towards YOUR chosen destination.
This builds strength. While submitting to the ideas of others can dilute your passion and personality.
Remember, good, bad, or ugly, you are responsible for every stage of your life. Everything starts and finishes with you, no matter what hand you have been dealt.
