Elon Musk, Mobile Minorities, and How to Overcome Fear

I think one of the biggest skills today for any business person is to correctly identify a vocal majority versus a vocal minority. If you just constantly let the vocal minority sway you're thinking, you're letting the bottom 1 or 2% of people sway your decision making just because they're very loud about it.

That's the difference between people who seem totally brave and fearless is they have just learned to deal with fear better than the person who lets the fear slow them down or stop them.

The older I get, the more I need to behave like a child. That's kind of the game plan—get more child-like as I grow, not more adult-like.

What you don't want to overlook is what I call a mobile minority. So, a mobile minority is a group of people who decide to actually take their business and walk elsewhere, or they take their lifestyle and they just change it.
