A short YouTube excerpt relaying an Elon Musk quote that links compensation to problem-solving ability. The speaker emphasizes that people are paid based on the difficulty of problems they solve—not tenure or connections—and that this applies to employees and business owners across roles and industries.
This Elon Musk quote is going to change your perspective on life. He said. You get paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of problems you solve. You don't get paid for how long you've been at your job or what powerful people you know. You get paid to solve problems whether you're an employee or a business owner. You could be a business selling socks or consulting services, or you could be an employee cashing out customers or running a huge corporation. Whatever your role, there's always going to be problems to solve. And if you can be the person who solves these problems, your earning potential is going to skyrocket.
