What business young people should focus on?
Elon Musk: “I think it’s important to focus on something that you are personally passionate about, that you personally care about. It’s very hard to be motivated for a product that you don’t really feel strongly about.
And it doesn’t have to be high-tech, it could be in any field. It’s got to be a product that you feel it really needs to be there and something that you personally love. And I would listen to your instincts.
Do you love this product or service? Because it’s kind of impossible to know what do other people love but if you love it that’s a good sign. And that could be small to large any kind of any field it’s it doesn’t have to be high tech.
A good test would be that you can’t wait for this product to be on the market and if that’s the case you’re you’re going in the right direction.”
That was Elon Musk at VivaTech on Jun 16, 2023. VivaTech is an annual technology conference, dedicated to innovation and startups, in Paris, France.
I don’t have much to add, other than every entrepreneurial activity I have started, I have been completely focus on it. To be focus doesn’t guarantee success, but I think that it makes the entrepreneurial journey that much more interesting.
I would like to close with a quote from Warren Buffett that goes like this.
“You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong.”
Warren Buffett
