Day 1359: Elon. Productivity. Meetings.
Yesterday I was explaining how perfection / lead generation / marketing / procrastination are not you and your clients’ issues. The REAL PROBLEM is that ‘you’re afraid to be seen’ as well as how the doctor said to Dave, so you say she shakes your nerves? Rattles your brain? Goodness Gracious.
Speaking of that reminding him of something else the doctor needed to see…
Dave and I were leaving to play golf yesterday and some tees fell out of his golf bag… here’s his conversation with girlfriend about it:
Dave’s Girlfriend: *hands him the tees* What are these?
Dave: Those are tees for putting your balls on when you drive.
Dave’s Girlfriend: My heavens, BMW think of everything nowadays, don’t they.
Dangerous Dave:
Me:
In other news from my BCS podcast…
Whatever triggers you, reveals what you need to heal.
Anyhoo…
Your one PROFIT ACCELERATION THING today is:
‘Elon Musk Email’
The alien just trying to get home is a controversial figure but his business advice tends to be pure gold.
An email to his staff leaked with his 6 rules of meetings and productivity.
Here they are:
1) Avoid large meetings
Large meetings waste valuable time and energy.
– They discourage debate
– People are more guarded than open
– There’s not enough time for everyone to contribute
Don’t schedule large meetings unless you’re certain they provide value to everyone.
2) Leave a meeting if you’re not contributing.
If a meeting doesn’t require your:
– Input
– Value
– Decisions
Your presence is useless.
It’s not rude to leave a meeting.
But it’s rude to waste people’s time.
3) Forget the chain of command
Communicate with colleagues directly.
Not through supervisors or managers.
Fast communicators make fast decisions.
Fast decisions = competitive advantage.
4) Be clear, not clever
Avoid nonsense words and technical jargon.
It slows down communication.
Choose words that are:
– Concise
– To the point
– Easy to understand
Don’t sound smart. Be efficient.
5) Ditch frequent meetings
There’s no better way to waste everyone’s time.
Use meetings to:
– Collaborate
– Attack issues head-on
– Solve urgent problems
But once you resolve the issue, frequent meetings are no longer necessary.
You can resolve most issues without a meeting.
Instead of meetings:
– Send a text
– Send an email
– Communicate on a discord or slack channel
Don’t interrupt your team’s workflow if it’s unnecessary.
6) Use common sense
If a company rule doesn’t:
– Make sense
– Contribute to progress
– Apply to your specific situation
Avoid following the rule with your eyes closed.
Don’t follow rules. Follow principles..
The last line is gobsmackingly brilliant… ‘Don’t follow rules. Follow principles.’
You heard it here first.
Now, pick up the phone and go help someone.
