We all know how well thought is Elon Musk in the world of business and success. But how did Elon Musk get this much success, and what were his rules behind it. 

The Rules Of Success By Elon Musk Are Written Below:

1. Make requirements less dumb:

The very first step is to make your requirements less dumb. All of the needs are quite dumb, no matter who has given them to you. It is mainly dangerous when they come from people who are rather intelligent as you might not even question them.

Everyone can be wrong, and no matter who you are, all of you’re mistaken at some point. All designs can be wrong, and it’s only a matter of the extent of wrong it is. 

2. Try and then delete the part of the process:

The second step of the owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, is to try very hard and delete the part of the process. If parts aren’t being added into the design at least 10% of this time, not enough parts will be deleted.

The bias is very strongly towards let us add this part of a process step if we need it. Every required part and process should come from the name, not any department, as the department cant be asked why their requirement exists, but any person can. 

3. Simplify or then optimize:

Rules of success mainly involve simplification of things. Simplifying and then optimizing the design means that he might be optimizing something that must not be there. Elon Musk is also guilty of being in this position.

He likes being in a mental straight jacket which happens in most traditional schools where you are always required to have an answer to a question, regardless of whether the premise is there to make any sense at all or not. 

4. Accelerate cycle time:

This step is to boost cycle time. You are only moving too slow, and you should move faster. Elon Musk’s tips include you to move faster. But it would help if you did not go too fast unless you have worked on the rest of the three things first.

He also uses another example of how these steps must occur in one order. In the wrongheaded process, you must stop and shouldn’t accelerate. Don’t dig it too fast if you are already digging the grave. 

5. Automate:

The rules of success by Elon Musk include automation as well. This final step is to automate. Elon Musk’s success tips consider automation an important part of the entire success process. If any product reaches the end of any production line and has a higher acceptance rate, there isn’t any need to have in-process testing. Elon Musk and Tesla have also made this mistake.

Elon Musk’s companies have suffered that they have gone through automation, acceleration, simplification, and then deletion. 

Last Word:

Elon Musk’s tips include being proactive, having a set rule for achieving your success, and being a part of your path to success.

“Some of us want to see the whole plan before we take one step. Just in faith, take a step. Move in that direction. Don’t be scared, just step on out.”

VEU Magazine had the opportunity to speak with William about his new book and his upcoming business ventures

What are some of keys to success that you used to come from the bottom to where you are now?

I had total  belief in myself and I knew that I was meant for something greater than my circumstances. It’s a feeling so deep within you and it drives you never to give up. I held on to that feeling no matter how hard things were at the time. I knew I had a message that could inspire people, transform my life and transform the lives of others.. I never lost sight of that. This is why I can honestly say I spoke my way to success.

Words of advice for anyone struggling right now, especially during these times now

No matter how hard things may seem, you must never give up. You have a gift within you that the world needs and it’s up to you to tap into that gift.. If you don’t know what that gift is use this time to focus on finding it. We all have something we do that is easy to us and extraordinary to everyone else. So, take this time to really look at yourself and your life. Determine what you want to accomplish and go after it. Never stop thinking or dreaming big.

You’re always working on a new project. What can we expect next from you ?

I’m working on several new major projects, but I am incredibly proud of my first book being released October 4th called “The Best Gifts Come From The Bottom” . It’s really special to me because I know it’s going to help educate, inspire, and empower people to transform their lives. It’s not just a story about how I spoke my way from homelessness to being the top motivational speaker in the world. They will learn the what and the why too. Also this book is not just for aspiring speakers or people looking for motivation. This book really has something for anybody that wants to tap into their full potential. This is why everyone needs to get a copy because i’ll be sharing some things in there that will help you take your life to the next level. Aside from that I have a clothing line, several motivational speaking albums in the works and I’m in talks for movie deals as well. There’s a lot going on over at Will Smiles LLC.

Santia is known for breaking records that are typically reserved for men athletes only. She recently signed a multi-million dollar contract with WFLA or Women’s Football League Association. This is the biggest contract that WFLA has signed with a female athlete. Her talk show, Queen of Abs is also available on iSHE TV, iHolyfield TV, and NPOWERED. Deck is using all the available platforms for inspiring young women. She has overcome many challenges in her life like scoliosis and bullying. Deck is an inspiration for all young women. Aside from that, she just launched her own sneaker company, and is the first women athlete to achieve this feat.

Deck new sneaker company is TRONUS and it has already received an amazing response. WFLA has done years of planning for this moment. Santia has already represented many shoe brands in the past. She has been the brand ambassador of various amazing shoe brands. Santia has finally achieved her goal of owning a sneaker company. Her team has brought on Jamine Sills. Jamine Sills is an amazing footwear designer and he is now working as a creative consultant for Santia Deck. The project got delayed as Santia wanted some non-negotiable things in her shoe. She wanted her shoes to be both fashion-forward and unique. The shoe should have a lightweight feel. She wanted a shoe that her fans can collect and show off. Deck wanted to make sure that her first attempt is successful. Thus, she and her team spent a lot of time learning about the shoe industry. Their project has evolved into a big shoe empire now.

Deck has been teasing TRONUS to her fans. She has already uploaded many original concepts on her social media accounts. The fans were flooding with her requests before even she launched the official website. Thus, her shoes were already hit. TRONUS is now offering free registration to their users.  You can get VIP access on TRONUS. This will ensure that you will get priority. Thus, you can buy the shoes before they are available on the general website. There are also many other perks that TRONUS is offering to the VIP members. TRONUS has gained 10 times the VIP members that they have first anticipated. They had a rough figure in their mind after they saw the response of fans on the Santia Instagram page. However, fans have completely blown away that figure. The team is worried now as they think that their entire first limited edition shoe will be sold to VIP members only. They won’t have enough shoes for the general public. The best thing about this is that they have still advertised their product. Thus, Deck is very happy with these initial numbers. Multiple resellers now want to sell these shoes. One reseller is even ready to buy the entire stock of TRONUS. However, Deck and her team have already declined this offer. They know the value of their brand.

There are many other business-savvy women like Rihanna and Serena Williams that have already collaborated with big brands. They are already working with big brands like Puma and Nike. Santia Deck is also trying to expand their brand in the same direction. They want to build a big brand. Deck also wants to compete with these big players. She wants to create a big brand like Nike and Puma.
