I dont know much about the man but there are so many things on that list which could be used as excuses by sidewalkers.

Elon is a machine.

Truly amazing what he has accomplished already. It made me realize that I am thinking WAY to small.

Love it! Elon Musk has been a true inspiration to me and motivates me every time i think about what he has done.

Like what? ^_^

If you shared with us some of those things, mrarcher, we could avoid to fall in sidewalkers traps easier. & you'd help people like me that could be too positively biased in favor of Elon's life because, you know... when you see someone as a hero, it can be tricky to judge him objectively.

If you have time, can you share those things?

This is awesome! Been studying him and his companies a lot lately, pretty cool that I saw this on my news feed.

Every failure or hitting rock bottom on that list could be used as excuse..

so.... what separates him from the rest of us mere mortals?

I'd wager it's not mindset, as this forum has some of the most dogged determined people alive, at least if what I saw at the summit is to be believed.

What allows him to accomplish so much more?

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

He accomplished much more SO FAR. Doesn't mean that people on here can't accomplish similar things.

Another reason may be that a lot probably would have retired after the first big sale of a company (2Zip or PayPal), but he kept going.

His persistence. And he reads a lot. He has an absolute knowledge of many things, similar to Bill Gates and other muli-billionaires. He surrounds himself with experts. He makes sure everything is perfect.

He also has a lot of connections in many different industries.

• One factor is Luck, for sure, but we can do something to increase our luck
  
  • "It might seem disheartening, the fact that successful people probably owe more to luck than anything else, but only if you see luck as some sort of magic. Take off those superstitious goggles for a moment, and consider this: the latest psychological research indicates that luck is a long mislabeled phenomenon. It isn’t a force, or grace from the gods, or an enchantment from fairy folk, but the measurable output of a group of predictable behaviors. Randomness, chance, and the noisy chaos of reality may be mostly impossible to predict or tame, but luck is something else. According to psychologist Richard Wiseman, luck – bad or good – is just what you call the results of a human being consciously interacting with chance, and some people are better at interacting with chance than others."
    
    A piece of the following article http://youarenotsosmart.com/2013/05/23/survivorship-bias/

• Another factor could be his ability to work 100h per week for long periods (at least months) of his life.
  
  Since we can't have it all, if we decide to work 100h per week, we could pay this sacrifice with bad health & very few "normal" relationships: for example, how can you have a happy marriage like most people dream if you work 100h per week?
  
  Let's keep in mind that Elon married & divorced several times, and IMHO, he can't be a wonderful father (he sends work-related emails when he's with his kids, for example)
  
  So, who among us doesn't care too much about paying with bad health, because maybe s/he thinks that s/he can earn money fast enough to have access to the best health care in the world to recover quickly; and who thinks that being a good romantic partner & a good parent are less important than his/her ambitions, s/he can test if s/he can endure Elon's supposed lifestyle.

*speechless* So Elon was just a genius at tech but money as well. He was always interested in entrepreneurship. Great job with this infographic. [HASHTAG]#legend[/HASHTAG]
