Why Elon Musk Doesn’t Obsess Over Competitors.
When speaking at the InvestHK conference Elon said:
“We don’t think too much about what competitors are doing because I think it’s important to be just focused on making the best possible products…
It’s sort of analogous to what they say about you if you’re in a canoe if you’re in a race. They say don’t worry about what the other runners are doing, just run.”
Elon does not suggest ignoring competition altogether. Competition can inspire innovation but obsessing over the competition distracts from obsessing over your own business.
So be aware of your competition but don’t let it distract you from your main goal: Making your business and your life as awesome as possible.
The grass will be greener on your side when you focus more energy on making your grass green and less time worrying about your neighbors grass.
