1. #Believe it is possible
As a teenager, he was known as the best moped tuner in town.

2. Have long term ambitions
His first summer job was at a Suzuki dealership outside of Stockholm, Sweden, cleaning cars.

3. Chase your dreams
In 2003, a fire devastated the factory. Although the building was destroyed, most of the equipment and all of the cars under production were saved.

4. Dare to try something different
In 2014, he built the Koenigsegg One:1, a mega car (having 1,341bhp), with a power to weight ratio of 1 to 1.

5. Empower people
In March 2009 the Koenigsegg CCXR was chosen by Forbes to be one of the ten most beautiful cars in history.

6. Care about your product
In December 2010 the Koenigsegg Agera won the BBC Top Gear Hypercar of the Year Award.

7. Utilize your strengths
Norwegian animated film, Flaklypa Grand Prix gave him the dream of creating the perfect sports car.

8. Stay ahead of your competition
Koenigsegg is also involved in "green technology" development programmes.

9. Listen to your customers
On 28 February 2005, Koenigsegg CCR broke the Guinness record for the fastest production car in the world, having attained 241.63 mph (388.87 km/h).

10. Dreams are possible
In September 2011 the Koenigsegg Agera R broke the Guinness World Record - 0–300 km/h with a time of just 14.53 seconds.

Evan I love how you use guys like Jay Z, Dame Dash and P Diddy in your top 10 rules for success videos. With the release of "Straight Outta Compton" recently, I would love to see you do a Top 10 for Dr. Dre. I hear in his Beats sale to Apple he is now worth something like 2 billion dollars and from his humble to starting his own record label Aftermath records, and to creating the Beats headphones line. He's is a true entrepreneur! Thank you heaps Evan love the videos, keep up the great work 😀
