The man who mentored both Elon Musk and Steve Jobs: Larry Ellison. He taught them a blueprint for success that made them over $400 billion. Here’s the blueprint: Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, isn’t your typical CEO. He’s the “bad boy” of tech - dating models, racing cars, playing extreme sports. He was the inspiration for Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. And his approach to business is just as bold and unconventional. 1 - Be Visionary but Practical Ellison taught Musk & Jobs to dream big but be realistic. 2 - Product first, always Ellison’s mantra: "Don’t chase market share, focus on the product." The best company doesn’t need to chase trends. 3 - Take Calculated Risks, Learn from Failure There’s a pattern among the most successful people: They aren’t afraid of failure. 4 - Challenge the Status Quo Ellison never followed the herd. He pushed Jobs & Musk to question everything. 5 - Hire the Best, Lead the Rest No successful entrepreneur builds alone.
