Hey there,
Before I started writing this email I Googled Elon Musk’s net worth…
$160,300,000,000 is the number Google gave me.
Elon’s net worth number tends to fluctuate on an upward trend by a billion or two per day…
Because it is directly related to the price of Tesla stock.
With the awesome net worth number above take a wild guess how much the house Elon lives in is worth…
Suprisingly: It’s worth about $69,000 (50K plus upgrades).
And he rents it.
From SpaceX.
Yes Elon has owned mansions in the past but for him they are less important than work he does.
Part of the reason Elon is so successful is because it’s not all about the money for him…
Mostly: It’s about the missions.
If it was about the money Elon could take SpaceX public and likely reclaim his title as world’s richest man in the process…
But it’s about the missions…
And by keeping SpaceX private with Elon as the majority share holder they are able to move fast and this has enabled them to dominate the space race.
SpaceX is crushing the space race to such an extent they currently send 80% of all payload to orbit…
(China sends 12% and 8% is everyone else).
Clearly the missions defined by Elon are resonating with his winning teams.
So true to Elon’s style I recommend you align your work with a mission based focus as well.
I’m not saying don't make money…
Everyone needs to eat…
And in fact you should absolutely set bold and specific monetary goals and review them often…
Because what gets measured gets managed…
Where attention goes energy flows.
And missions motivate more.
To overcome your competition it helps to be overly motivated…
And a strong mission will help you attract a strong team.
So revisit your mission statement…
And make sure your mission fucking matters!
My mission matters.
And so should yours!
