Read and educate yourself

There is power in knowledge. If you want to be better and more successful than other people, you must educate yourself accordingly. According to some sources, Elon Musk read the whole Encyclopedia Britannica by the age of nine and in 2017 he stated in an interview that he was “raised by books”.

Don't wait for a better time

According to Musk, there is no time to wait until you're older, more experienced, richer or when you have more time. If you have an idea and you believe in it, act immediately.

Trust your dreams

Without motivation and a certain trust in your dream, it's hard to achieve success. Trust your dreams, even despite the partial failures that you're bound to encounter on your way to your goal. Elon Musk himself founded a company in the 1990s that was listed among the ten worst business ideas of 1999.

Inspire others

The best way to find business partners, co-workers, clients and creditors is to make them excited about your project that you yourself believe in.

Offer something extra

You should be an expert so you can make offers on projects and to clients in a certain field some extra value. Something that other business people can't offer, and that will make you valuable to others.
