That's an illusion, you can't work for like 100 hours a week to be successful, because then you will find yourself as a slave, you need strategy, connections, discipline and ruthlessness to be successful.
Working 100 hours a week makes sense only if you are doing your own thing and not for a company... If you do that for a company then you'll get to higher posts but in the end the company will profit more (and you'll just keep working your ass off for the years to come) but people who do their own business put in hours of work in the starting phase of their business to live how they live today Also just working won't do shit, you need mentors, learn from your mistakes and come up with something new to push yourself above others...

1. Be confident with something that will provide value for someone else. 2. Be rigorous in the assessment of 1 above. 3. Avoid wishful thinking. 4. Know the difference in believing in 1 verses 3 (A challenge for entrepreneurs is to identify what's the difference in believing in their ideas vs pursuing some unrealistic dreams that don't have merit) 5. Be extremely tenacious. 6. Work as hell. Success is waiting!
Reminds me of what Michael Jackson always said. Work like there is no tomorrow, don't bother unless you can be the best, study the greats and become greater, etc. ALL geniuses, visionaries and innovators (no matter what their field is) have the same attributes. They work harder than anybody else, they are perfectionists, they don't give up, they see things that others don't and they do everything BIG. Also they are not motivated by money (yes they make lots of it and they appreciate it) but rather by seeing their great ideas come to fruition. And they all want to make the world a better place.
This is true. At school, i really loved history and researched so much more than everyone else because i enjoyed it and i became the best at the subject out of everyone at school.
+Rastacraft So true. But you have to know what you're working towards before you invest so much time. Most people are clueless what to do with their lives, and those that do are usually delusional thinking they're doing something great when it's not (i.e. 99% of CZcamsrs).

It is not enough to work more. I used to work a lot. The only things it gave me was double salary after 6 years of work. It is crucial to see that he starts from saying that we have to do something which people will value. The other thing is that we have to be able to take risks, standup after failure and be flexible after we fail. Sometimes we just simply do things because we used to do them before and this is the reason we don't learn from our failures. It is easier to continue than change ourselves. And to do it I don't see any other advice than to force ourselves to do things differently. So, it is not enough to work hard. If you work hard digging your grave you will only have very deep grave.
One of my first jobs was working as a painter. There was an old pro running the crew in his last year before retirement. We knew he was coming to check in on our work so we made sure we were rockin n rollin in the middle of a hot summer day. He saw us baking in the hot sun, covered in sweat, paint cooking in the heat, and yelled at us to “WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!!” In other words, we thought we were putting in the hard work…but we weren’t being smart about it and should’ve been working around the sun. Soooooo, it doesn’t really matter if you’re working twice as hard as the next person if YOU aren’t being smart about it and your leaders aren’t smart themselves. Doing more dumb stuff isn’t a recipe for success.
Yeah there's nothing worse than the guy on the crew who's a) stupid and b) proud of how hard he works. Cuz he'll "work so hard" that he'll put in a bunch of hours messing shit up for everyone else. And also cuz he's so proud of his "hard work", he'll resent everyone else on the team, who put in less hours yet still get more done than he does.
I'm in the process of working full-time but studying for my next career (software development), I get discouraged & tired at times, but knowing Elon works >2x a regular work schedule helps me put my goals in perspective & gives me the added motivation of knowing if I can get through this schedule it'll only be easier to work >40hour/week on a career I'd love to do.
yes work twice as hard as others and stuff is something that I used to do, and I used to ignore social interactions and make up the excuse that I am "working", and that has made me lose tremendous confidence as well as social skills in the real world. Idk it just seems that there should be another reason for life other than work.
Work is what you do. Elon said it himself. Amibition is doing what you innately desire. It's feeling what I can do based off ideals or beliefs. If you don't do what you believe then why are you doing what you don't believe. It's like working a job with no belief, isn't that no purpose. Your working for nothing and you feel nothing. You gotta work for purpose and it's exactly what elon explained. You don't have to work long longs and give alot of effort. Just go beyond normal expectations and elon did exactly that.
It was an advice for entrepreneurs. Being an entrepreneur is a mindset, not a job. It means to come up with all sorts of ways to arrive at your goals, at your destination. If you’re employed, and decided to apply that “work twice as hard as everybody else” to your job, you probably made the company take leaps further towards their goal. Whatever their mission statement it may be. But ask yourself: is the company’s mission statement/goal the same I have? I doubt John’s mission statement is “to be the premier retail company in the world” or stuff like that. That’s company talk. Elon is talking about people who want to achieve their goals in life. What those goals are you have to find out for yourself. 9 times out of 10 is not your job. Your job isn’t a goal, it’s not a destination. The money they pay you there is solely the tool which you use to get to your goal, not the goal itself man. If your goal is to buy the piece of land of your dreams for your retirement and your family’s enjoyment, you know you have to attach a price to it. Dreams have a price tag on them. Well, now, as an entrepreneur I’ll do whatever it takes to buy that piece of land with that beautiful property. In order to do that, I’ll work twice as hard at my job so I can save twice the amount of money. Or I’ll start a business of my own, and I’ll get through the first years of operating in the red to get to one day high profitability levels so I can control my compensation-not my boss-and how much money I put away for that beautiful piece of land. As long as the way you get to that destination is honest, legal, and ethical. And mine was just an example-it doesn’t have to be a piece of land with a property in it. It will be whatever inspires you or your family. But if you’ll never stop and THINK ABOUT IT, you’ll never figure out what you’re fighting for-and the hard work will be meaningless, without result financially nor emotionally. Think for yourself man, that’s what millions of people don’t do. They’re leaves on the big river of life: they just float on it, thrown around by the flow, and sometimes the flow rips them in two. You gotta become a rock, you stay firm and put on your goals and values and the flow doesn’t move you one inch-it only shapes you up a bit. Don’t work just to work, man. That is of no use to you. Useful to the company for which you work for-but you’re not your company! You’re your own person, with a family and people you love. That company cares about the CEO/Founder’s family first-yours second, if not last. Hope I brought come clarity. These are basic success principles right here
I think he's also saying that strategic planning and strategic effort are important parts in working hard. lots of people work really hard but they don't succeed because of an unjust system.
Pigeon Morris Hi, I suggest you read Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" & see the section on sharpening the saw....if you would like another angle on what you are mentioning...and haven't yet read it. Nice comment.
the only advice i got is even if he is on the top of his field he never had the thought to reserve an advice , that speaks a lot of his hardcore dedication! so damnn focused.
There is no substitute for Hard Work. You just can't skip it. For hard work you have to ignite that fire in yourself. Only you can do it nobody can do it for you. You gotta figure it out yourself.
80-100 hours work week. It comes at a price. You have to sacrifice EVERYTHING else in your life. That means no family, no friends, no hobbies. Just work work work. I used to do 80 hour work week throughout my 20s. Money was damn good but like I said, ZERO life. By the time I was 30, I quit my job because of burnout.
Lol at 1:55 (after Elon gives her advice on entrepreneurship) Interviewer: "I like your work ethic" - as if to say that passes as a good answer and she approves. Elon: meekly "Alright...... thanks" - genuinely confused because that was advice she requested, he never considered the question was a form of appraisal. This is why Elon gets stuff done while others strut about or waste time on useless mindgames.
Oh you guys...she was ending the interview. Interviewers are allocated a limited amount of time for these things. If you notice, he gets up after she says "thank you" at the end. I'm pretty damn sure she knows he's way beyond her league and that he doesn't need her approval for anything. His head nod and the "alright, thanks" was his way of acknowledging that the interview was coming to an end and that that was her last question for the day. She did her job, she got a great answer out of him for you guys.
i think the first part was most interesting, on the topic of being an inventor/entrepreneur, if you're inventing something that will be useless, then you've lied to yourself.
Number 1 is the most important - provide high value to someone else. That always been a mystery to me - how brilliant entrepreneurs are able to anticipate what others need and provide for it. It’s their gift and lacking that gift, the reason I’m not an entrepreneur.
1. Focus on something that has high value to others. This means being confident that your idea or product will solve a real problem for people and that they will be willing to pay for it. Musk emphasizes the importance of being rigorous in this assessment, as it's easy to fall into wishful thinking and pursue unrealistic dreams. 2. Be extremely tenacious. Starting a business is hard and there will be many setbacks along the way. You need to be able to persevere through these challenges and keep going, even when things seem impossible. 3. Work incredibly hard. Musk says that entrepreneurs need to be willing to put in 80-100 hour work weeks, especially in the early stages. This will give you a significant advantage over your competitors who are working fewer hours.
100 hours a week is just impossible, especially if you're studying. The brain is not going to concentrate for 14 hours a day on specific, tedious tasks.
@@gavinedit8722 It's different with doctors, they have already been taught the skills required in med school. I'm specifically talking about people who are learning new information. I want to apply this mindset to my studying and yet I like most people would find it extremely difficult to study 14 hours a day.
Bobby they are not taught everything in med school they are constantly learning new skills and information while on the job- they also had to pull those study hours during med school as well.
Actually, it's the specific, tedious tasks which are *exactly* what the brain is good at concentrating on for 14 hours (or more) per day, if you're motivated enough. What's much harder - bordering on impossible, depending on the subject matter and your level of intelligence/expert knowledge/experience - is working for 14 hours a day on intense, cognitively taxing tasks, such as those involving high levels of abstract thought and problem solving. The trick to becoming hyper-productive, Elon Musk style, is to identify those tasks which you're able to grind out day in day out until you drop, fill the morning and early afternoon when you're at your sharpest with the intense problem solving tasks, and the late afternoons/evenings with the sort of stuff that you could do while watching a movie or listening to an audiobook or talking on the phone (and wherever possible, actually be doing something like that at the same time). Now that's productivity!
I'm disabled and fairly bedridden. I have to think very carefully about how to accomplish everything in a very efficient manner. I accomplish more now than ever before.
This advice isn't only for entrepreneurs, as the vast minority of all people will ever be entrepreneurs. Regardless of what type of worker or employee you are, work harder and smarter than everyone around you, and you will never be disappointed with how you can climb the ladder and end up. One of my favorite things to do is to dig down and do self-productive things while other people my age are "living it up" partying and engaging in impulsive pleasures. You may look around and find that a lot of people are better off than you right now, but nothing beats hard and smart work in the end, and if you make that promise to yourself, you're going to end up satisfied.
As a Registered Nurse, with a 2-year degree, I worked part-time and raised 2 daughters without child support. I lived a frugal lifestyle and devoted my spare time to helping others. Millionaire at age 66. Learn to go without and save every penny.
this is so true the thing work with accumulation, don't give up just because some can do the work quickly and they don't put a lot of effort to it it is just like formula 1 the one who get the highest points at the end of the season wins

1. Be confident with something that will provide value for someone else.
2. Be rigorous in the assessment of 1 above.
3. Avoid wishful thinking.
4. Know the difference in believing in 1 verses 3 (A challenge for entrepreneurs is to identify what's the difference in believing in their ideas vs pursuing some unrealistic dreams that don't have merit)
5. Be extremely tenacious.
6. Work as hell.
Success is waiting!
thanks for the essence
Reminds me of what Michael Jackson always said. Work like there is no tomorrow, don't bother unless you can be the best, study the greats and become greater, etc. ALL geniuses, visionaries and innovators (no matter what their field is) have the same attributes. They work harder than anybody else, they are perfectionists, they don't give up, they see things that others don't and they do everything BIG. Also they are not motivated by money (yes they make lots of it and they appreciate it) but rather by seeing their great ideas come to fruition. And they all want to make the world a better place.

It is not enough to work more. I used to work a lot. The only things it gave me was double salary after 6 years of work. It is crucial to see that he starts from saying that we have to do something which people will value. The other thing is that we have to be able to take risks, standup after failure and be flexible after we fail. Sometimes we just simply do things because we used to do them before and this is the reason we don't learn from our failures. It is easier to continue than change ourselves. And to do it I don't see any other advice than to force ourselves to do things differently. So, it is not enough to work hard. If you work hard digging your grave you will only have very deep grave.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
"Alright, I like your work ethic", not "i'll do that". And that's why Elon succeeds.

Ethan Woo that’s a lotta work *polite smile*
One of my first jobs was working as a painter. There was an old pro running the crew in his last year before retirement. We knew he was coming to check in on our work so we made sure we were rockin n rollin in the middle of a hot summer day. He saw us baking in the hot sun, covered in sweat, paint cooking in the heat, and yelled at us to “WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!!” In other words, we thought we were putting in the hard work…but we weren’t being smart about it and should’ve been working around the sun.
Soooooo, it doesn’t really matter if you’re working twice as hard as the next person if YOU aren’t being smart about it and your leaders aren’t smart themselves. Doing more dumb stuff isn’t a recipe for success.
you think you as a painter is a smart work lol, Elon Job built smart work companies but somebody need to put the work in , in order it get easy
Yeah there's nothing worse than the guy on the crew who's a) stupid and b) proud of how hard he works. Cuz he'll "work so hard" that he'll put in a bunch of hours messing shit up for everyone else. And also cuz he's so proud of his "hard work", he'll resent everyone else on the team, who put in less hours yet still get more done than he does.
this is much informative than being in class for the whole semester.
I'm in the process of working full-time but studying for my next career (software development), I get discouraged & tired at times, but knowing Elon works >2x a regular work schedule helps me put my goals in perspective & gives me the added motivation of knowing if I can get through this schedule it'll only be easier to work >40hour/week on a career I'd love to do.
And how is working 80-100 hours per week going for you? It's been 2 years.

yes work twice as hard as others and stuff is something that I used to do, and I used to ignore social interactions and make up the excuse that I am "working", and that has made me lose tremendous confidence as well as social skills in the real world. Idk it just seems that there should be another reason for life other than work.
Building a network could be part of your work. Or socializing in General
Work is what you do. Elon said it himself. Amibition is doing what you innately desire. It's feeling what I can do based off ideals or beliefs. If you don't do what you believe then why are you doing what you don't believe. It's like working a job with no belief, isn't that no purpose. Your working for nothing and you feel nothing. You gotta work for purpose and it's exactly what elon explained. You don't have to work long longs and give alot of effort. Just go beyond normal expectations and elon did exactly that.
It was an advice for entrepreneurs. Being an entrepreneur is a mindset, not a job. It means to come up with all sorts of ways to arrive at your goals, at your destination.
If you’re employed, and decided to apply that “work twice as hard as everybody else” to your job, you probably made the company take leaps further towards their goal. Whatever their mission statement it may be.
But ask yourself: is the company’s mission statement/goal the same I have?
I doubt John’s mission statement is “to be the premier retail company in the world” or stuff like that. That’s company talk.
Elon is talking about people who want to achieve their goals in life. What those goals are you have to find out for yourself. 9 times out of 10 is not your job. Your job isn’t a goal, it’s not a destination. The money they pay you there is solely the tool which you use to get to your goal, not the goal itself man.
If your goal is to buy the piece of land of your dreams for your retirement and your family’s enjoyment, you know you have to attach a price to it. Dreams have a price tag on them.
Well, now, as an entrepreneur I’ll do whatever it takes to buy that piece of land with that beautiful property.
In order to do that, I’ll work twice as hard at my job so I can save twice the amount of money. Or I’ll start a business of my own, and I’ll get through the first years of operating in the red to get to one day high profitability levels so I can control my compensation-not my boss-and how much money I put away for that beautiful piece of land. As long as the way you get to that destination is honest, legal, and ethical.
And mine was just an example-it doesn’t have to be a piece of land with a property in it. It will be whatever inspires you or your family.
But if you’ll never stop and THINK ABOUT IT, you’ll never figure out what you’re fighting for-and the hard work will be meaningless, without result financially nor emotionally.
Think for yourself man, that’s what millions of people don’t do. They’re leaves on the big river of life: they just float on it, thrown around by the flow, and sometimes the flow rips them in two. You gotta become a rock, you stay firm and put on your goals and values and the flow doesn’t move you one inch-it only shapes you up a bit.
Don’t work just to work, man. That is of no use to you. Useful to the company for which you work for-but you’re not your company! You’re your own person, with a family and people you love. That company cares about the CEO/Founder’s family first-yours second, if not last.

For hard work you have to ignite that fire in yourself. Only you can do it nobody can do it for you. You gotta figure it out yourself.

80-100 hours work week. It comes at a price. You have to sacrifice EVERYTHING else in your life. That means no family, no friends, no hobbies. Just work work work. I used to do 80 hour work week throughout my 20s. Money was damn good but like I said, ZERO life. By the time I was 30, I quit my job because of burnout.

Interviewer: "I like your work ethic" - as if to say that passes as a good answer and she approves.
Elon: meekly "Alright...... thanks" - genuinely confused because that was advice she requested, he never considered the question was a form of appraisal.
This is why Elon gets stuff done while others strut about or waste time on useless mindgames.

Oh you guys...she was ending the interview.
Interviewers are allocated a limited amount of time for these things. If you notice, he gets up after she says "thank you" at the end. I'm pretty damn sure she knows he's way beyond her league and that he doesn't need her approval for anything. His head nod and the "alright, thanks" was his way of acknowledging that the interview was coming to an end and that that was her last question for the day.
She did her job, she got a great answer out of him for you guys.
i think the first part was most interesting, on the topic of being an inventor/entrepreneur, if you're inventing something that will be useless, then you've lied to yourself.
Number 1 is the most important - provide high value to someone else. That always been a mystery to me - how brilliant entrepreneurs are able to anticipate what others need and provide for it. It’s their gift and lacking that gift, the reason I’m not an entrepreneur.
Nice Video Thanks 10 years ago
1. Focus on something that has high value to others. This means being confident that your idea or product will solve a real problem for people and that they will be willing to pay for it. Musk emphasizes the importance of being rigorous in this assessment, as it's easy to fall into wishful thinking and pursue unrealistic dreams.
2. Be extremely tenacious. Starting a business is hard and there will be many setbacks along the way. You need to be able to persevere through these challenges and keep going, even when things seem impossible.
3. Work incredibly hard. Musk says that entrepreneurs need to be willing to put in 80-100 hour work weeks, especially in the early stages. This will give you a significant advantage over your competitors who are working fewer hours.
His dad was a millionaire beforehand, so that helps too.
CONGRATULATIONS champion...
It's very nice to meet you here and there, you are the best of best person I've ever seen or heard about 🌍🦅🌍
Your competition hates it when you work hard.
100 hours a week is just impossible, especially if you're studying. The brain is not going to concentrate for 14 hours a day on specific, tedious tasks.
Tell that to doctors lol
@@gavinedit8722 It's different with doctors, they have already been taught the skills required in med school. I'm specifically talking about people who are learning new information. I want to apply this mindset to my studying and yet I like most people would find it extremely difficult to study 14 hours a day.
Bobby they are not taught everything in med school they are constantly learning new skills and information while on the job- they also had to pull those study hours during med school as well.
Bobby also I’m not saying its a healthy option- i think a lot of people suffer from over working themselves with those hours - but its not impossible
Actually, it's the specific, tedious tasks which are *exactly* what the brain is good at concentrating on for 14 hours (or more) per day, if you're motivated enough.
What's much harder - bordering on impossible, depending on the subject matter and your level of intelligence/expert knowledge/experience - is working for 14 hours a day on intense, cognitively taxing tasks, such as those involving high levels of abstract thought and problem solving.
The trick to becoming hyper-productive, Elon Musk style, is to identify those tasks which you're able to grind out day in day out until you drop, fill the morning and early afternoon when you're at your sharpest with the intense problem solving tasks, and the late afternoons/evenings with the sort of stuff that you could do while watching a movie or listening to an audiobook or talking on the phone (and wherever possible, actually be doing something like that at the same time). Now that's productivity!

This advice isn't only for entrepreneurs, as the vast minority of all people will ever be entrepreneurs. Regardless of what type of worker or employee you are, work harder and smarter than everyone around you, and you will never be disappointed with how you can climb the ladder and end up. One of my favorite things to do is to dig down and do self-productive things while other people my age are "living it up" partying and engaging in impulsive pleasures. You may look around and find that a lot of people are better off than you right now, but nothing beats hard and smart work in the end, and if you make that promise to yourself, you're going to end up satisfied.
