Who's your hero? Who do you want to emulate, and why?

To find out who inspires startup founders to create and grow their companies, we asked eight successful young entrepreneurs from the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) about the individuals that they looked to emulate in their businesses and their lives.

1. Elon Musk

As a serial entrepreneur myself, I envy anyone that can successfully juggle multiple projects at once. It's one thing to do it with moderate success, but it's astounding to see it carried out at the multi-million dollar revenue level. Elon Musk, the current CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is also the Chairman of Solar City. Previously, he was a co-founder of PayPal. The fact that all of the aforementioned brands have such immense success is very inspiring to me. It's obvious that Elon has learned to optimize his time and focus on his priorities every single day. While I don't expect to ever come close to mirroring Elon's success, he is a great example of a well-diversified entrepreneur that has found success through a great deal of hard work and innovation. - Logan Lenz, Endagon
