Elon said that the single best piece of advice he can give is to:
“Constantly think about how you can be doing things better.”
I think it’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re constantly thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better.
I think that’s the single best piece of advice: Constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
I doubt if Elon would advocate questioning yourself if it afflicts you with analysis paralysis that stops you from taking action to make progress in the direction of your goals.
Know yourself. Question yourself insofar as it enables you to better yourself.
Many words could describe Elon Musk: Genius, Determined, Successful…but perhaps the word that describes him most of all is: driven.
If you want to emulate Elon’s success, find the drive in yourself to work hard and execute on making your dreams a reality.
The more hours you work the greater your odds of success are.
“You’re not going to create revolutionary cars or rockets on 40 hours a week. It just won’t work. Colonizing Mars isn’t going to happen on 40 hours a week.“

The only thing better than a perfectly executed plan is perfect execution of a better plan.
Start by finding your drive and refining your execution plan:
As you execute on your goals and action items, question how you can improve your plan and actions.
Invest in your success by putting in as much work and effort towards your business as humanly possible.
