Elon Musk Vs Jeff Bezos
These are two of the most successful people in the world but they have totally different working styles.
Jeff Bezos’ working hours are from 10am to 5pm. For Bezos: “As a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? You get paid to make a small number of high-quality decisions.” Elon Musk is more focused on engineering and solving problems, he will frequently work 100-120 hour weeks.
Warren Buffett has spent 80 percent of his career thinking.
“That’s what created [one of the] world’s most successful business records in history. He has a lot of time to think,” Charlie Munger, Buffett’s long-time business partner, has said of his unusual approach to productivity.
Getting in the right mindset is so important. If you can get into the right mindset you can accomplish anything.
We are all wired differently, and the most important thing is to understand how you are wired. What is your advantage and superpower?
For me I have worked extremely long hours before. I am now at a stage where I’m aiming to be more strategic in how I spend my time.
My superpower is more in more in my ideas in terms of product and marketing, and so it is better for me to spend less of my time on routine and maintenance work, and more of my time on thinking, creation, visualisation, solving problems. Execution can actually be done very fast.
Downtime is important. It’s extremely valuable to rest.
