Elon Musk, the tycoon owner of different technology companies such as Tesla, Starlink and X (ex Twitter) is known for having a particular lifestyle. His great leadership and creativity are signs of a great mind and a lot of discipline.
Your habits can be a source of inspiration and an example for those who wish to follow in his footsteps. Luckily for him, Musk revealed the three habits that he adopted on a daily basis and that he claims led him to the success he has today.
The three mottos that Elon Musk follows to be more productive
Genius thinking tries to produce novel ideas. New insights rarely emerge from monotonous habitual thinking.
“Argue as if you’re right, but listen as if you’re wrong”
Standing on the opposite sidewalk and refusing to see other positions will not advance your ideas. Growth is in the differences, so you have to listen to all the bells possible. This will strengthen your proposals.
“Think from the finish line, to have everything under control at the starting line”
Idealizing and imagining what the end, the purpose, behind the idea is, can be a great source of motivation. By starting to walk backwards from that goal, you can analyze the steps to follow more clearly.
“Seek advice from naysayers to find common ground for everyone”
If you are not convinced of your idea, do not seek advice from your peers or those who accompanied you during the process. The best way to see errors and get honest criticism is through the opinions of people who you know are going to disagree with your proposal. These opinions will be the ones that look for holes for you to plug. This way you will ensure that problems are resolved at the beginning, and not once the idea is launched on the market.
