What Elon Musk and Home Business Academy Have in Common

October 12, 2026by Tammy Glickin Motivation, Residual Income

Before you trust any business opportunity, look at where the founders spend their day. Are they hiding behind a curtain, or are they in the trenches with you? That one question is a big reason I said yes to Home Business Academy, and a story about Elon Musk is what made it click for me.

The founder who sleeps on the factory floor

Here's a story about Elon Musk that stuck with me.

During production crunches at Tesla, he's known for sleeping on the factory floor. Not in a corner office. On the floor, right there with the people building the cars.

And instead of hiding behind PR teams, he talks directly with customers online.

Say what you will about Elon. That part matters. When the founder shows up, you always know where they stand.

Where Mike and Paul spend their day

That's exactly what I see with Mike Hobbs and Paul Hutchings at Home Business Academy.

They aren't distant executives sitting in an ivory tower. They're live on coaching calls five days a week, working side by side with members, answering questions and teaching.

I've known Mike and Paul in this industry for many years. The hours and energy they've poured into this is a big reason I said yes.

Why it means so much when you're not a tech person

I'm not a tech person. I've tried other home business ideas, and so many of them felt way too complicated. I'd get stuck, start second-guessing myself, and quit. I wrote more about that in I'm Psychologically Unemployable. Here's What That Means.

So knowing the people at the top are right there on a call that same day? That means everything to me.

The question most people never ask

Here's the lesson I took from all of this. Before you trust any opportunity, look at where the founders are. Hiding behind a curtain? Or in the trenches with you?

Most people never ask that question. They pick a company based on hype and never find out if anyone at the top is actually showing up.

The other four parallels

Founders who show up is one of five parallels I walk through in my video, "What Elon Musk And Home Business Academy Have In Common." The other four are worth seeing too, including:

• Who's been quietly eating your cut all these years, and what HBA does about it (0:10)
• The frustration that sparked HBA in the first place (2:58)
• How few referrals it takes to be in profit with HBA's model (3:17)

If you're tired of punching a time clock day in and day out and wondering if there's a better way, I think this one is worth a few minutes of your time.

I believe in you, and we're just getting started.
