6 Powerful Secrets From The World Richest Man. Tips on How He Got to the Top





 




Elon Musk is the founder, CEO, CTO and chief designer of SpaceX; early investor, CEO and product architect of Tesla, Inc; founder of The Boring Company; co-founder of Neuralink.



 

He has a lot of titles to his name, that just shows that he knows one source of income isn't sure for anyone and most importantly investment is key.


I'm sure a lot of us must have seen his reply after he was announced as the richest man in the world. He simply wrote, "How Strange, well, back to work". Unlike some of us that make a couple of thousands and start bragging all over the internet.


Today, I'll be sharing with you six secrets revealed by Elon Musk himself in an interview shared by BBC news on how he achieved great success in his business.



 

1. He Didn't Let Money Drive Him


For Elon Musk, it was never about the money, in fact, he doesn't know how rich he is. He said, "It's not as if there is a pile of cash somewhere, It's just that I have a certain number of votes in Tesla, and SpaceX, and SolarCity, and the marketplace has value on those votes."



He didn't allow money to be his main focus and he doesn't even think he's going to die rich because he still has major projects going on like the base he is building in Mars and all his fortune might just go into it.





2. Follow Your Passions


Elon Musk set up SpaceX because he was discouraged that the US space programme wasn't more ambitious.



 

He said "I kept expecting us to advance beyond Earth and to put a person on Mars, and have a base on the moon, and have, you know, very frequent flights to orbit," he said.


But when it didn't happen, be decided to start "Mars Oasis Mission", which aimed to send a small greenhouse to the red planet and that led to the birth of the world's cheapest rocket-launching business.



3. Don't Be Afraid To Dream Big


Elon Musk wouldn't have gotten to where he is if he hadn't dreamt big. He looks for opportunities that set him above average and continue dreaming about things that seemed unachievable at that time.


He advised that we should try to do things that are going to matter.



4. Be Ready To Take Risks


You must be prepared for the journey to success is not going to be smooth. Elon has had times when both sides seem too tough to take. He has had to choose between throwing all his money into business that might not yield results and walking away with his money in hand.


Of course he chose the former.



5. Ignore Critics



People will try to bring you down with their words, just do you. Follow your passion and have a clear vision of where you are going.


6. Enjoy Yourself


Don't think of overworking yourself just because of your goal. Take care of yourself.


These are words of advice from the richest man in the world, what are you going to do with it?

THE POWER OF SETTING DEADLINES

     A deadline is a date on or before which something must be completed, it is the time frame to which we have set to accomplish a certain task. Deadline is a mechanism that triggers the mind to complete a task quickly. It is possible to accomplish a task without using the tool deadline, but it is more easier and wiser to use deadlines because it triggers us into a state of urgency, the state where we don't have time to think about excuses, a state where the only option is to actually complete a task, when we set deadlines we create a burden on our heart that a task must be completed within a period of time.       Deadlines directly impact your time therefore, they force you to organize your task in order of priority, so that you are only working on objectives that moves you closer to what you want to accomplish, you have to learn how to focus on your key milestones.
