While hope is important, true success comes from constantly questioning your assumptions, seeking critical feedback, and refining your approach. Musk explains that people often fall into the trap of believing what they *want* to be true rather than facing reality. He advises adopting a mindset similar to physics—always assuming you’re somewhat wrong and working to become *less* wrong over time. By soliciting honest, sometimes brutal feedback, you can uncover your blind spots and make smarter decisions. Evan Carmichael expands on Musk’s advice by emphasizing the balance between optimism and realism. As an entrepreneur, you must be passionate about your mission but also flexible in how you achieve it. He shares his own experience of asking a respected peer to tear apart his YouTube strategy, seeking out weaknesses to improve. Instead of avoiding criticism, great entrepreneurs embrace it and use it to grow. He also outlines three key strategies: having a strong mission to push through challenges, being stubborn on the *why* but flexible on the *how*, and listening to skeptics to identify weaknesses before they become obstacles. The takeaway? Success isn’t about blindly believing things will work out—it’s about taking action, adapting, and continuously improving. Entrepreneurs who succeed aren’t just dreamers; they’re problem solvers who refine their vision based on reality. What’s the best piece of tough feedback you’ve ever received?
