A leaked email from Elon Musk which is so on point and for once I agree with absolutely everything he says:

[Reportedly] Elon Musk sent an email to the staff at Tesla with his 6 rules for productivity. Unsurprisingly, it leaked.

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.

As today is International Virtual Assistant's day, I thought I'd share some fun Friday facts about me.....

How Much!!!! 🤯

You've thought of hiring a VA but then had a heart attack when you hear their hourly rates!! 😱

"So the easy way out is the hire an employee and save money - right?" Not every time.

"It will save me money as the hourly rate is much lower"....until you factor in how many extra costs are involved.

For some businesses hiring an employee is the right choice, but for many others hiring a VA can actually save you money! A lot of money!!

Sounds like a win win to me! 🎉

If you want to hear how I can help your business grow and succeed and save you some cash, email your fav VA today (that's me, by the way!) 😁

I've just messaged Elon Musk asking him if he needs VA support !! Cheeky or assertive?
