749: Elon Musk, Twitter Email

Yesterday I was explaining why perfectionism is the furthest thing from your real problem as well as what the Buddhist Monk said to the hot dog vendor.

Speaking of a great place to take a date…

Here’s a conversation from a date when I was in my early 30’s.

Me: It’s great to see the economy going so well.

Hot Blond: I’m a socialist.

Me: *Trying to impress her* I don’t understand economics either.

In other news…

Ever notice the guys at the bar that danced with the girls all night never left with any of them?

*There’s a powerful marketing lesson in that for you.

 Anyhoo…

Your One PROFIT ACCELERATION THING Today Is:

‘Elon Musk Email’

The alien just trying to get home is becoming increasingly more polarizing by the day and shaving his net worth in the process.

That being said you don’t become the worlds richest man by accident, PLENTY to learn from him.

An email to his new Twitter staff leaked with his 6 rules for 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.

Elon Musk

PS. *The last line is gobsmackingly brilliant… ‘Don’t follow rules. Follow principles.’

PPS. If this helps and you want it to really sink in… GO TEACH IT to someone cause that’s the best way for you to learn it. A friend, your spouse, a prospect, a client etc…

*Don’t plagiarize my work like a lame arse.

PPPS. Marriages break up from lack of money… over lack of love X 100.

Business failures lead to destruction, addiction, depression, anxiety, suicides, and, unfortunately, far more.
