Elon Musk: Work twice as hard as others

[Music] all right last question three pieces of advice to entrepreneurs what are your three pieces I'm an entrepreneur so you can share them with me okay what would you what would you how would you advise me well um I first of all I really need to take some thought to like how can I provide advice that would be most helpful and I'm not sure I've given enough thought to to to that to give you the best possible answer but I think um I think certainly uh being focused on something that your confident will have high

value to someone else um and just being really rigorous in making that assessment um because people are T tend to a natural human tendency is wishful thinking um so a challenge for entrepreneurs is to say well what's the difference between really believing in your ideals and sticking sticking to them versus pursuing some unrealistic dream that doesn't actually have Merit and it's it's that is a that is a really difficult thing to to tell you can you tell the difference between those two things you know so you need to be sort of very rigorous um in

your self self analysis um I think certainly extremely tenacious uh and um and then just work like hell I mean you just have to put in you know 80 hour 80 to 100 hour weeks every week go and a lot of work that all those things improve the odds of success okay um I mean if if if other people are putting in 40-hour work weeks and you're putting in 100h hour work weeks then even if uh you're doing the same thing you know that in in one year you will achieve what they achieve you you

will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve okay I like your work ethic all right thanks on
