There’s something so freeing about having one big mission to focus on - not always possible but great when it is.
I listened to the Walter Isaacson bio of Elon last year and really enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty balanced and gave a lot of insight into how he pulls off the stuff he does in the business world. The level of focus and willingness to go all in as well as the personal costs.
Obviously most of us aren’t going to sleep on the factory floor :) but the power of truly focusing and also how it can rally a team behind that mission really stood out to me.
There really is. No question where to be spending your time. No guilt about not getting to something else. Etc.
I’m right there with you on the bio - listened to the pod then ordered the book. Regardless of what people think of Elon, his business mind and how he attacks problems flat out works. To your point, he takes it to the extreme and many of us won’t sleep under our desks, but the beauty of learning is that we can pick and choose what we want to take from those lessons and apply them with our own spin.
