Startup Wisdom(@StartupWisdom_):Elon Musk on why he focuses all his time on constraints: "Basically, if something is working well and making good progress, then there's no point in me spending time on it. So I allocate time according to where the limiting factor is, where things are problematic, where we're pushing against, what is holding us back. The irony is, if something's going really well, they don't see much of me. But if something's going badly, they'll see a lot of me. Or not even badly. If something's a limiting factor, it's a limiting factor. It's not exactly very bad, but it's the thing that we need to make go faster." Video Credit: @CheekyPint
