Within the space of a decade Elon went from being an immigrant to the United States, sleeping in his office and showering at the YMCA, to being a dot com multi-millionaire taking delivery of a million dollar McLaren Supercar.
Elon used what he had, did what he could, and it worked for him.
“At the beginning we had one computer which would be the web server during the day and then at night I’d program on it. And we’d sleep in the office.
It was cheaper to rent the office than to rent an apartment so we just rented the office and slept in the office and showered at the YMCA.”
Elon was born in South Africa but it didn’t stop him from moving to Canada, and then to America and Silicon Valley to be a part of the dot com boom.
Maybe you are starting out from a humble beginning. When I started my first online website I started it from my bedroom while in University and living at home with my parents…
Yet despite my humble beginning I grew my blog into a success to the tune of thousands of visitors a day.
If you have a laptop and an Internet connection a world of awesome potential awaits you.
Dream big, work hard and act boldly, because these days more than ever: When there is a will there often is a way.
