This x 10,000. The number one mistake people make is thinking too big on their first business. They try to start the next SpaceX when they should be starting a paving company. Something boring that gets you the money to start the next SpaceX later. Build the launch pad

If you aren’t rich, every single business you start needs to be cashflow positive within two months. If it isn’t, go get a job working for somebody who knows how to make money or a rich person with a big idea. Sounds silly but this is why most people fail. Poor early decisions.

SpaceX (just barely) succeeding required both the knowledge and the capital I gained from a modest success with Zip2 and a more significant success with PayPal
