In an article for <i>Entrepreneur,<\/i> Timothy Sykes writes: &#8220;The more ambitious the goal, the more motivated you will be to achieve it. SMART goals are great if you know exactly how you&#8217;re going to get from point A to point B, but a lot of times, life just doesn&#8217;t work that way. It&#8217;s much better to just start with a massive and ambitious goal and work it out from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"first-letter:float-left first-letter:text-8xl first-letter:pr-1 first-letter:-mt-1 first-letter:font-black first-letter:text-gray-500 prose prose-blue max-w-3xl text-lg leading-relaxed mb-12\">\n<p>Tesla has proposed a landmark compensation package that could make CEO Elon Musk the world&#8217;s first trillionaire.
