For example, people have said battery packs will always be expensive, because they\u2019re expensive to make, and that\u2019s just how it is. Yet Musk realized when batteries are broken into their fundamental components (cobalt, nickel, aluminum, carbon, polymers, and a steel can) and built, costs go down dramatically. This led to Tesla Energy, or revolutionary energy storage for sustainable homes and businesses. By challenging the status quo, Musk developed home energy storage that\u2019s causing radical change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make Room For Failure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Elon Musk, if things are not failing, you\u2019re not innovating enough. When innovation is the motivating factor, one will find many ways to get things done. It is possible for people to accommodate failure and prevent it from ruining them by making a contingency plan to help them take the next step when failure does come around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quotes\"><\/span>Quotes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.<\/li><li>When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.<\/li><li>Some people don\u2019t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.<\/li><li>Persistence is very important.
