A guru at my age?

Apparently, some subscribers liked my view or tips for hiring someone that I sent a few days ago. ​ OK. Great. Instead of just talking about how managing PPP projects, infrastructure projects and real estate investments, I’m management guru now… ​ Not my cup of tea. ​ Managing staff is too complex. I’d prefer have no employees… but look, you can reach what you can reach by your own, and if you look at the sky, you many need people sustaining the stairs, right? ​ There is another tip I can give you when hiring key staff. ​ Just say “If I hire you, who will you want to bring from your past jobs and why?” ​ ​ If the answer is an “ahh, ahhh, ahh” or “No one”… then was this person really leading anyone? ​ Proven talent comes with a history of success… and that costs money. Potential talent costs less money but requires a major time investment in their training and you have to be ready to loss real money on the way. ​ Always looks for that history of success when hiring someone. ​ Other lessons learnt in big projects, below. ​

My goal is not the Lambo. It’s not drinking overpriced wine… and obviously not New Zealand red wines. I just want to own my time. That’s it. Some people call this financial freedom. You know that I read about the subject. Forums, blogs, books, and… from time to time I did it on social media. Yes… it was a time...
When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. Now that I have a little money, all I hear when someone talks about others is: “I love that guy,” “He’s brilliant,” “What a machine”, “Qué huevos tiene”, etc. Failures focus on hating. Successful people focus on admiring—and finding people worth admiring. Failures assume malice. Successful people assume kindness. Failures obsess over what they don’t like. Successful people are blind to what they don’t like. Failures...
“When you understand that every opinion is a vision loaded with personal history, you will begin to understand that all judgment is a confession.” – Nikola Tesla Note that sentence. Do it by hand. Yes, in a piece of paper. Have it next to your screen, desk, or whatever. Read it every day. and every time a stupid shows you his stupidity through his month. If that sentence does not make you jump out of your chair to do something productive... you simply have no blood in your veins. That's all...
