However, checking and writing emails at all times while playing with your kids and doing things in parallel isn't smart. As a great entepreneur you also need to be excellent in mindfulness, not being that manifests in poor private life quality (women, kids, friends), not to mention exercise. Musk mentioned himself that he doesn't know much about these things. I wonder what he came up with if became an expert in these things. > Learning how to create FOMO is the most important negotiating dynamic you can learn. FOMO = fear of missing out. Needs to be added that you need traction or big social proof to create fomo, otherwise you'll see founders running around trying to create fomo with a few hundred users, no term sheets, no revenue.
