Some people say they learn more from their mistakes than their successes. That’s true… but that doomed. My non solicited advice of today is “don’t try that in real estate”. You simply cannot keep making mistakes in real estate to learn… you’ll end up broke! The cost a lot of money. There is an old proverb that goes something like this: “A fool learns from his own mistakes, the wise man learns from the mistakes of others.” So, don’t make mistakes that you can learn from others. Many people...

Did you know that there’s enough money circulating on this planet for every human being to have a net worth of $1 billion? One billion dollars! I repeat. One billion. The question for you now is. Are you getting your share? If you’re not, it’s because you’re thinking in terms of hard work and limits, not in terms of abundance. Working on emptying your inbox won’t make you to get a fair share. Nor reviewing for the third time the Power Point presentation. Nor reviewing the minutes of meetings...

We run from what chases us and chase what runs from us. Keep thinking of this sentence. This knowledge is Nature. And you can revert it. Imagine that for one week, you do only the things you like the less. Studying. Calling. Visiting an apartment for sale. Sending an offer for a deal. Talking to an accountant, to a lawyer… or just to your boss, if you don’t want to explore investing yet. Challenge yourself. Pass from prey to hunter. And after that week, you tell me how you feel. Ah… Today,...

"We buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t even like." I hope I’m not the first one in telling you this. Of course, it’s true. You buy a car that’s more expensive than you need—not because you want it, but because you don’t want people to think you’re struggling. You move into a bigger place, with a mortgage longer than a day without Wi-Fi, because you have to “live well.” You blow a ton of money on clothes, gadgets, dinners, all sorts of things… not because you truly want them,...

According to Harvard, one of those studies that they do from time to time, procrastination doesn’t come from laziness, but fear of failure. Read it again. The problem is not laziness, but fear of failure. This is why reviewing that Power Point is a priority compared with calling that client that doesn’t pay or is about to be closed. This is why you start by reviewing your emails instead of something more productive. This is why you defer that conversation with your boss, for another moment,...

Tell me what you work on and I tell you how far are you from success. I work hard. You work hard. Everybody works hard. Or.. so they say. It is not how hard you work but on the things you work on. If you are dedicating your time to “catch up with your inbox”, instead of calling clients and closing sales, instead of doing what you know you have to do to get maximum results… then, don’t complain. Don’t feel even tired. You’re wasting your time… … and you know it. I’ve been reading a few of...

I see people surfing the web. Looking for deals. Trademe. Idealista. Zillow. RealEstate.com, etc. Scrolling and scrolling as they were in TikTok. Flat encephalogram. They are wannabes at most… if their brain connects with any dreams… of course. I spent hours surfing sites of real estate too. But I do it differently. Instead of looking out of curiosity, I do it with intention. That’s it. Some want to “check”, “see if there is anything”, or else. These people see everything too expensive, too...

The middle class are taught to be realistic. That’s the worst piece of advice you can give to someone. Don’t do it. Successful people think in terms of how extensively they can spread themselves. The greatest regret of my life is that I initially set targets and goals based on what was realistic rather than on giant, radical thinking. Think big, as Trump used to say… And yes, Think big changes the world… not realistic goals. Think big is what makes Facebook, Twitter, Google, Tesla, Amazon —...

Some of you have been contacting me about my interview where I talk about infrastructure. Some were shocked. Brave said some. Crazy others. Total disagreement some people cannot be helped anymore… as they are lost for society. I say this many times. All the time. If you live grey… without upsetting anybody… unnoticed… average… You’ll remain like that… average… or worst unnoticed. You have to break some eggs to do a great Spanish tortilla… and you know it. I’m sure you have some strong...
