Like musk, I want to have a tangible impact on the world, but how do I do this ? I am 26 and broke. I want to hit 100m by 35 and maybe a billion by 40.

My current thoughts are a startup in the sciences since that's my field. Pic related since the journey is tough.

As far as I understand. the assets of billionaires are quite much ethereal. nonexistant stuff that only means something to other people and banks who have money.
Many rich people started by taking a loan. risking freedom, life and limb. if they didnt inherit their wealth.

So if you have absolute expertise in a field where you are comfortable, take the loan, start a business. fail, declare bankruptcy, try again. find you hate what you previously loved.
>being a sociopath / high functioning psychopath or being autistic are advantages
>also ingrained workaholic tendency is a great asset.

You might spend years sustaining yourself with ramen noodles as you amass the capital to expand.

And is that what you want from your life? My bad I guess you already eat noodles. Then go for it.
Know bridges will be burned, lives will be ruined in your wake, and you cant hold any conscience for the asian sweatshops you run.

What is your science? how can it be marketed? can you make it obsolete right out of the gate so your science will provide a better solution in two years?
If not, its doomed. Nobody will invest in a product like a hammer. perfect out of the gate.

He lays it all out in his interviews and speeches (search YT to find):

* Work all your waking hours.

* Learn to think about problems like a physicist: What are the fundamental constraints at work in this problem? Like, he considered what it should really cost to build an orbital rocket, in terms of the materials and manufacturing and contrast that with what the Russians were asking for their surplus ICBMs.

* Read all the relevant books on the subject of interest and use his recommended learning techniques to absorb it all.

* Have a clever idea (Paypal), built it and sell out to a megacorp. That's your seed money to build the next thing.

* Have enough guts to take calculated risks and be LUCKY enough not to make fatal mistakes. Like, Spacex's first two (or was it three - I forget) rockets blew up and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. But the next rocket was successful, and on that basis NASA gave him a lucrative contract, and he was on his way. Which leads to the last point (I think):

* Leverage all the government friends you can find.


Easy enough to state! LOL.

afaik I know my brother in law is working to change law, so a plastic/silicone thing people commonly use is outlawed, so his pending patent on that thing that is biodegradeable can be marketed at all, because it has a low shelf life. and cant compete otherwise.

At least Brother in law has a solid princible on elbowing his way to discardable items market.

And that anon is how you make money.

sorry. I meant OP that is how you make money.

I would sell NASA a sniffer drone that crawls over the outside of the ISS and finds those pesky micro-leaks that are the reason it has to be retired. When it finds one, it stops and signals it's location and an astronaut then goes to the corresponding spot on the inside and sprays some tyre-puncture goop there.

I'm sure they won't do it, though, so I'm giving the idea away.
