Elon and his brother Kimball launched a software company in 1995 called ZIP2

He tried to negotiate but got rejected
Started study on his own and founded SpaceX on his own capabilities….
He did space travel commercially viable..
Then he decided to build reusable rockets.
From this thing, we can learn that one man can learn a lot from books…internet and
encyclopedia..on his own
Nobody believed in SpaceX vision of making reusable rockets.
The fact was that to make a rocket which can enter the orbit of Mars at the lowcost and also
get that rocket back safely
The engine caught fire in the first launch
The second and third rocket went off route
So he was nearly bankrupt..he put all the money that he earned from PayPal and zip2…all the
money he got from NASA contract.

months only.

Then he visioned about aking an electric car at Tesla.
The first car made was very expensive and no one could afford it
In second attempt cost went a bit low but in the third attempt, the actual reasonable cost was
there for the customers
So FAILURE IS AN OPTION. He believes that a failure is an option where everyone in this world
thinks failure is not an option.
He is the guy who wants to live for the earth.

1st tip
You always have to focus on the right target on whatever area you get into
Give your best the best…there is always a chance of failure.
Go into the scenario which you really like.
Which is very very important
If you don’t like it then life is too short
Interview someone.
If u like what you do..you will think about it even when you are not working
And if you don’t like it..then you can’t really make the right target
Great people don't try to force a square peg into a round hole
he knows his team core inner strength.
For example, if you want to make fish climb a tree and monkey alo…fish will never be able to
climb it
He believes that if he wants to do something extraordinary then hire the right person in the first
move only
Because if u hire a mediocre man…and he will fail to find the solution …he will say that he didn’t
get the solution because there is no solution
But Elon is stick to goals …….person can change the path or strategies but not the goal
Do everything to gather great people if you are starting a company

At least try
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.
You have got to find what you have love. and it should be as true as the love for your lovers.
If you haven’t found it yet..keep looking..don't settle.
And like a great relationship..iit will get better and better as the year rolls on..
If you live each day thinking it’s a last then someday you will be right.
No for many days.. change it.
