Legitimate question:
How could you, as a Tesla $TSLA shareholder, NOT back Elon Musk's pay package?
The FULL package is paid out if Elon builds Tesla to be worth $8.5 TRILLION.
That's +500,000% above Tesla's IPO price.
Vote "YES" for the greatest innovator of our lifetime.

Social selling factory in Indonesia 🤯
This is UGC industrial mass production. This is a freaking factory.

My agency does $500k-$1m a month.
Some days I work 10 hours.
Some days I work 1 hour and spend time with my family.
I am in this position because I was able to remove myself from the business...

Hard times build character.
They’re important chapters in the book of your life.

1/ I'm a bootstrapper. Have always been and it's my only experience, so you could say I'm biased.
Over the years and at random meeting points, I've asked everyone I meet who has raised capital what they'd do in my shoes. Never once has the response been 'go raise money'.
Why?

Going from $0-$1m is just finding your offer.
Going from $1m-$10m is systemizing.
Exceeding $10m is talent stacking.

Every startup pivots at some point.
Here are 5 top reasons why startups pivot:
1. There is no market
2. Customers don't want it
3. You can't make money

Don't procrastinate.
Whether it's how you feel about those you love, your dream vacation or job, your desire to start or share something with the world, etc...
Life is too short to procrastinate.
Do SOMETHING about the things that matter deeply.

I was completely broke.
I’d gone from a salaried job, to unemployed, to REI.
I made $12 an hour selling hiking gear.
REI was (and is) a good company, but unfortunately, $12 wasn’t enough.
I was married, had one child, and had purchased a home.
