Currently, I am reading Elon Musk’s biography book written by Walter Isaacson. If you have not read that book then I highly recommend reading it. I figured out that we have one of the great tools right now to achieve financial freedom.
One of the things that I noticed that was involved in Elon Musk’s success which eventually paved the way for him to become the richest man on Earth is the realization of specific events in human history that he noticed the potential of. Thus in this post, I decided to share some of my thoughts and also give advice for hopefully helping you to achieve your financial freedom.
Elon Musk’s journey to richness
Elon Musk back in the early days was a very interesting person. He was curious about various things, but mostly he was interested in physics and programming. When he was a kid he was able to program with Commodore 64.
When he grew up and moved to the USA that’s where his richness started to come in. He sold mostly companies or his portion of a company that he was in. One of the reasons for his success is he always thought to do something different. Thus he realized something very important thing back in the 90’s.
What did Elon Musk realize in the early days?
The thing Elon Musk realized in the 90s was the power of the internet. Many didn’t believe in its power, but Elon was different. He saw potential in the internet and thus he built a company called Zip2 which was an online city guide software for newspapers.
He established this company with his brother Kimbal and Greg Kouri. If I recall Elon and Kimbal were the first ones who created the Zip2 and later on Greg Kouri hopped in. Elon was the programmer and Kimbal and Greg took care of the business side of it.
After creating the software, later on in February 1999 Compaq bought the company for an astonishing $305 million. Elon got his own portion from this and then jumped on creating the next company which is PayPal.
From then on was quite rich and started establishing more companies that aim to change humanity in a positive way. For example, one of the reasons why he joined Tesla was because he was interested in revolutionizing the auto industry and making it more climate-friendly by favoring electricity over gasoline. Thus he has been always an advocate of renewable energy.
How you can pave the way for richness
Now let’s talk about you. One of the reasons why I wanted to create this blog is because I wanted to remind you that you have the same chance as Elon and thus if you harness this power properly you can accumulate very nice richness. Of course, I am now only speaking about financial richness, there are more types of richness than financial one.
The power I am talking about as you might guessed is AI (artificial intelligence). You have definitely learned about Chat-GPT already but if not then I highly recommend of reading about it.
AI is the next big impactful change that the world is going through. Just like how the internet changed the world by providing information online, AI can do much more than that.
Thus if you want to succeed efficiently with financial freedom providing that you are planning to achieve it online, then AI is a must thing to learn how to utilize it.
AI can help you in various ways, for example:
- Assist you with your online business, by asking questions from it and it will provide you answers that could be useful for your online business
- Create an AI tool website that can bring you recurring or passive income
- Give you ideas about potential business ideas
- Much more
Remember to harness it. Study it. Perhaps you will create a very successful business with the help of AI.
If you want to go deeper then I highly recommend studying programming AI and machine learning, neural networks, etc. There are some great AI courses in Udemy. The ones that I am currently taking are:
- Artificial Intelligence A-Z 2023: Build 5 AI (incl. ChatGPT)
- Machine Learning A-Z™: AI, Python & R + ChatGPT Bonus [2023]
Conclusion
Not missing out on huge opportunities that are about the change the world are very few. That’s why it’s important to learn and utilize them as soon as possible.
There will be in future lots of changes in human society because of AI, some of them are good and some are bad.
