How Elon Musk Broke Jail in Human Brain as An Entrepreneur
Writer: Exponect.com Team
In my previous blog post, I discussed content
hijacking. Similarly, due to certain unknown fears and internal phobias, A person
creates mental barriers in his brain which hijack his thinking, rusts the power
of his problem-solving techniques. These negative factors also become a major
obstacle in the life of an entrepreneur. Remember that these barriers function like hackers as
in digital platform who hijack content like in blogging. To prevent this content hijacking the link is given at the end of the this article.
The blog post explains that a great entrepreneur does
not engage only in business activities or technological efforts, but he also
overcomes intellectual and psychological obstacles. Actually, he used his
critical and lateral thinking to break mental barriers which are obstacles in
the path of his success. Sometimes, fear is created around the environment and
it leaves negative impacts on mind which create mental barriers. These
restrictions together create a kind of mental jail in the human brain if a person
accepts them blindly. he term of invisible mental jail in
the human brain was coined by exponect.com team not taken from any AI tool. However, if an entrepreneur
uses careful thinking and reflection, this jail can eventually be broken.
These invisible restrictions form what we can call the “mental barriers” — a psychological construct that limits creativity, bold decisions, and unconventional thinking. I also used my own phrase Jail in human brain to mention to highlight that thinking is trapped in a fixed pattern that needs to be broken.
The “Jail in the Human Brain” is
a metaphor for the mental barriers that prevent entrepreneurs and individuals
from reaching their full potential. These barriers are internal, not external —
created by fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs.
In the following paragraphs, I will prove how Elon
Musk solve problems and broke mental barriers which I called mental jail in the
human brain. Musk also faced all these hindrances in his life and solved them
due his Resilience rebellion attitude and innovative mindset.
The phrase “is not outside” means that the obstacle,
problem, or challenge does not exist in the external world or environment—it is
not caused by outside factors or other people.
A great entrepreneur does not only build a business
only but he also breaks mental barriers and the limits of his own thinking when
he thinks outside the box. When you remain inside the box then you create a
jail in human brain.
In the market, a true entrepreneur is willing to take
the highest risks, but a person with a conservative mindset may be afraid to
change their name or logo. Such an entrepreneur or any risk-averse individual
might think that if they alter anything, they could lose the success they have
already achieved with a brand like Twitter’s Blue Bird. They tend to play it
safe in marketing.
When someone builds a successful product or brand such
as the blue bird with Twitter, he often becomes emotionally attached to it.
Because of this sentimental attachment, he becomes afraid to change it. He
starts thinking that if he alters anything, he may lose the success he already
achieved. This thinking of a person with fixed mindset when he comes in the
market with novel ideas.
The human brain naturally prefers safety and stability
and tries to avoid risks. That is why most people hesitate to change even the
smallest detail in a successful brand.
However, Elon Musk demonstrated that a true
entrepreneur must break this fear. If a person wants to build a greater future,
they must sometimes have the courage to leave their safe past behind.
Twitter was famous for blue bird. It has been used for chat app and sharing videos and images only. Elon Musk believed that Twitter was a limited app and should evolve to provide more features for users, such as communication, content creation and sharing, financial transactions, and an all-in-one digital experience that allows users to interact, earn, and manage their activities within a single platform called everything app.
When the name “X” was introduced, some critics
connected this alphabet X to adult websites. Same x is used in mathematics for
variable and it can be replaced with numbers, letters and things.
Therefore, Elon
Musk ignored this criticism because he already took decision to convert his app
into a unique app which can perform multiple functions at a time rather than
just tweet.
He wanted to take bold decision therefore, he replace
blue bird with X and used black ground behind X. Black color is a power of
symbol in the psychological science of colors while blue color of the bird
shows a safe zone. Elon wanted to break this comfort zone.
When Musk used X for Twitter, he was told that it is
used for websites which create prohibited content. Musk also faced restrictions
from the people of society but he did not care for his new vision because he
knew that if he did not imitate his unique project for everything app then he
will become a conservative person like others in the society. He did bold
decision and proved that if you are doing something new then people will say
don’t do this but when you become successful then these people with fixed
mindset will ask you how you achieved success please share your story with us.
All these ideas show that the “jail in the human
brain” is the invisible wall created by fear, habit, and social pressure that
prevents people from reaching their full potential.
When someone breaks this jail, they can achieve much
greater success.
Most people remain in jail in mental prison because
they are uncertain about what will happen next in future but a true
entrepreneur understands that If his product or service is valuable to people,
they will continue to use it because it will solve their real problems even if
he changes color, name, design, logo, etc.
The journey from the blue bird to X teaches business
leaders and entrepreneurs that in the digital marketing, sometimes you must
destroy the cage of comfort zone to achieve a big goal.
Among modern visionaries, Elon Musk stands out as a figure who has repeatedly broken the mental barriers or “jail in the human brain,” not only for himself but also as an example for other entrepreneurs and new startups.
