Just how do they do it Veeky Forums?

How do no name college dropouts manage to build billionaire dollar empires by getting extremely intelligent and high IQ programmers, scientists and engineers do all the work for them? I mean, you would expect these highly intelligent people demand higher salaries, but they seem quite happy earning 1/100 to 1/1000 of what a Founder/CEO earns.

I've tried to do the same but FUCK ME, hiring a programmer or engineer costs a fucking fortune. Even poo in loos these days think they're entitled to $25k salaries!

Doesn't he have a double masters in engineering from prestigious universities and didn't he stake his entire future doing low and high level engineering work, for next to nothing, developing a weird new money system for some silly nerd thing, that no one had ever heard of, called the internet.

>Yeah... he cheated his way to the top.

You need to learn how to program if you are going to make it.

the struggle is real op you don't even

Elon Musk did not create Paypal, check your facts.

1) build influence (soft skills)
2) build a network to share ideas
3) build an 'inner circle' - a syndicate or 'mafia'
(curated form your network)
4) build companies, services, products
5) help each other out, but with clear goals, interests, aims
6) ?????
7) profit.

>Elon Musk did not create Paypal, check your facts.
>just checked

He did not create the name, but he created the service it became after Bill Harris said it is shit and Musk told him, fuck you.

1) Have skills, most important thing

2) See what your skillset could offer to the customers "needs"

3) develope a minimal viable product (a website where you say to people download/buy me and I will do what you "need") - link it to a 404 or "Will be out when done"

4) look how much people actually are interested in the "product" you offered

5) if it is hyped and people are interested in it, start developing.

You can start from 3) - this is how kickstarter works, and if people are hyped try acquiring 1) by learning or asking people to work for you and implementing into 5)

It's called charisma faggot try it sometime.
Literally worth 50 points of iq and a few million in capital

>You can start from 3) - this is how kickstarter works

needless to say you can't start from 3) if you are developing apps or similar things (delivering pied piper e.g.) and have shit skills, but you can if you are making a new board game.

>Co-founded.

Whatever, faggot, I don't even like the guy, or believe in any of his stupid companies, but don't take an earned reputation away from a dude.

The difference is that while you dropped out because you didn't want to do the work, they dropped out because they already had multibillion-dollar ideas to go work on.

>He can't afford to pay Pajeet $25k
That's the other thing. They actually made something themselves first, got rich, THEN started paying Pajeet to do it.

All the base work was done by the founders, they have no money to subcontract at first. If you can't create at least a crude prototype of your idea, you're fucked, hiring Prajeet/Sergei/Chan won't help you.

Sales is the key to wealth.

Give me ten minutes to talk my ugly face off and I'll bed the Queen of France. Or something like that.

I work in sales and marketing. Put all your points in charisma and you'll soon be able to pay other people to do everything else. It really is the most important skill not only for your career but for life in general.

Sauce

so... elon already has a degree and dropped out of his second to start a company and you try and portray him as some retard dropout?

You know I started selling goods that werent available in my country. Now I'm the only importer. A part of the profits go into real estate, which are rented to other people. This is our diversification and retirement plan.

Me and my business partner both have an unrelated degree. We just started doing it. Did you already start?

Step 1. Look for a problem of other people.
Step 2. Solve that problem.
Make sure your idea can scale.

He works super hard, but treats people like shit (including his family).

Still better than being a neet and people treating you like shit (including your family).

Elon Musk didn't drop out. He graduated from Penn, the fucking Ivy League, with two bachelors degrees, in Physics and Economics.

Tell us, friend, what went wrong?

what do you mean by 'scale''?

>non English speaker

>How do no name college dropouts manage to build billionaire dollar empires

here's your answer:

>by getting extremely intelligent and high IQ programmers, scientists and engineers to do all the work for them

fun fact
In Erie,PA used to be big on tool an die

one such vanguard was this guy.
His father said , son I will pay for you to go to college.
Son was like fuck that noise
gimmie dat monies so I can start a business instead
fast forward 20 years later
he's a depressed alcoholic that had to sell two of his three factories and lay off a shit load of workers.

moral of the story: be wise on how you invest your money and capital. the sooner you get this, the better off you will be.

Having connection and being pressive ?

What do you want op you already said he's doing it by other people's labour, smart fags can gloat all they want about being the best but they end up being wageies for the bussniess owner master race.

What exactly is charisma?

How does one develop it? I want it

easy to reproduce in large numbers

By not believing in inspirational quote meme.
I bet you believe Einstein dropped out of high school and Bill Gates is an idiot for dropping out of Harvard.

if i wanted to start something very big and had a way to fund a few yours of development i'd motivate people by offering them a stake in the company. if they believe in it themselves and put in the work their 1% ownership can be worth a fukton in the future.

that's how the google chef became a multimillionaire i think. and not just him of course.

Zero to One, Peter Thiel's book (Im guessing. Thiel founded palantir)

If you're implying Elon is a college drop out that snaked his success from genius scientists and engineers yet were stupid enough to get dopped, I would believe that you yourself is actually the moron.

For starters, Elon was a graduate of both Physics and Economics bachelors. He dropped out of a Phd in Physics specialising in high density capacitors before he dropped out, risking his time/money/future on a business idea Zip2 that was not guaranteed to work.

This however succeeded and facilitated his next business venture X.com later to be merged with Paypal.

The rest is history just read his fucking wikipedia.

More like stole the idea and kicked out the real inventor

Bump for this.

Sorry, forgot sauce.
Yeah, it's Zero-to-One

...

Another bump for this.
Can anybody answer this please?

Charisma is what sets other people apart from the average Joe. The easiest way in my opinion to be charismatic is increasing your vocabulary. In order to improve vocabulary try researching up on prefixes and suffixes.
After that pick up a sense of humor. Finally become an ideas guy.

There, you are now infinitely more charming to everyone and people will want to know you more.

this.
also, try to get a "warmer" tone.
don't speak too fast, but rather a bit slowly and with deeper meaning

This. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerburg were all funded by a CIA backed venture investment company. Most of the technology in the Iphone comes from the military.

Google, facebook, Apple, microsoft, and many others are government backed companies.

You literally have autism if you have just asked such a question. You cannot 'develop' a personality trait. You can't learn to be funny, you can't learn to be romantic, charismatic or intelligent. Wow, can't believe I had to spell it out.

yes you can

you stupid 18 year old shitcunt

As an occupational therapist I would like to confirm your error.

> be you
>serbian
>90 iq (as such)
>assumes your "charisma" is worth 50 iq points
> go door to door telling old ppl ur "charisma adjusted iq" is 140 and you will make them rich
>acquire 1 bln for hdge fund
BEGIN HEDGE FUNDING
90 iq + 50 charisma = 90 iq (actually)
1,000,000,000 x 90 iq = 0

>you lose all your investors money and your own money
>investors come to kill you
> you beat them to it, hang self
>your entire extended family kills themselves in embarassment
> 90 iq = 90 iq

A lot of very intelligent people are desperate for meaning in life. Working towards some utopian goal (electric cars, space travel, universal prosperity) is more important to them than money. They also tend to dedicate themselves to whatever branch of research they wind despite how little it pays to live the life of a noble academic. Think of their reasoning much like monks in the 15th century.

A lot of intelligent people also just kill themselves when they can't find meaning in any of the above. Look for suicidal teenagers with existential crises and con them into working for you.

elon musk bags his farts and clones them in his secret tesla lab, for personal use.
I AM SO SMART I WILL SELL A PIECE OF SHIT ELECTRIC CAR AND THEY WILL LOVE ME FOR IT...
untill they drive it, and realize that one genius can not change the reality that someone even smarter (jezza) knows as fact
some things are shit on petrol and some are shit on electric

Don't you fucking dare to compare noble Russian engineers to fucking poo in loos you fucking faggot bitch.

Try lying a bit more.

Thanks for the tips.
Anything to watch/read that you suggest?

Not if your hedge fund is being handled by proper high-IQ experts while you enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Well, to be fair that's not something I would expect from a 90iq person, but you may never know.

No, Elon Musk's company merged with PayPal, and him and and other cofounders enhanced the service until it was sold to eBay in 2002

So no, Elon Musk did not solely create PayPal, but he helped immensely, and made a healthy profit off of it when it was sold to eBay that allowed him to do the things he's doing now

Read the charisma Myth. It's written by a woman so I had my doubts but it had really practical tips and instructions. Great read.

I need help on excel, welll...with math.

I need to work out how many more sales I need to get to a certain market share.

Say there have been £100 worth of sales on the market this year.

I have sold £20, another retailer £40, another £35 and another £5.

I currently have a 20% market share.

Without taking any sales away from other retailers, how many more sales must I bring to the market to increase my market share to 30%.

I know I can do this through trial and error but I wondered if there was a quick formula?

Thanks, guys. Appreciate any help..

please help

(5*100-100)/70*100=571

So you need to increase your sales with 71 to a total of 171 to attain a 30% market share without taking away any sales from the competition.

Also, you're retarded

But you're wrong.

If their sales remain at 80, you won't have a mere 30% market share with 20 (original sales) + 71 (new sales) by yourself. The new share is 53.2%, according to your calculations.

cont.
You need to sell for 24 pounds, whilst they sell for 80 pounds, to achieve a 30% market share whilst not costing them any sales.

Correction:

(114-80)/114= 0.298...
(115-80)/115=0.304...

The answer is 14.5 pounds more in sales.

What drives these stupidly successful people is different to what drives others. Most people want a job that not only pays the bills but lets them have the shit they want.

People like Musk, Bill Gates, Einstein, etc. were never in it for the money or glory. Musk never thought about making a million dollars, he thought about helping a million people, about making the world a better place. Bill Gates didn't just whip things together to score some profits, he went for broke, he sacrificed the best years of his life in the face of failure for reasons other than money.

And the reason these types of people can get others to "do the work for them" isn't cause they offer people great money to do it. Its because these people can see their vision, they see that glimmer in their eye that boarders on genius and madness. Not many people have this kind of genius, so when you come across someone who does you bet your ass you'd want to join them for the ride cause only one in a million have it and its likely not you.

Customer told me I'm very charismatic yesterday and I just felt so good.

bwahahahahahahagahahaha

hahahaha

ha..

oh, you were serious.

...

bwahahahahajahahajciddififof

How did you get the 114.115 value?

*114/115 value

Thank you. Added to my list.

I m poo in the loo here. If you can't code yourself then don't expect to hire good coders who will do things for you. Almost all code coders including myself that we have the potential to become something like Musk, Zuckerberg, or Markus Nosch(minecraft). Only coders who has lost interest in programming and wants a job to support his gf/family is available for hiring and these are worst kind of people to have in your company.

fucking saved

This. Also having the ability to not give a fuck about what others think.

This lad is charisma.
