Today Codie Sanchez made my email. You choose your hard... so please don’t complain. I’ve been in both, and I’m still deciding what to do next. I take my time, with no rush.

Politics is a pain in the a$$. But you can hardly avoid it. It is hard to be brave all the time. It is hard to tell every person throwing bullsh*t into the room that they are wrong. It is also tiring. And sometimes, it can backfire. Badly. It can put you in a difficult position. And it can put the people behind you in a difficult position too. So yes. Sometimes, at high tables, you need to swallow. You need to let something pass… Let them, as Mel Robbins would say. You need to smile when you...
A few days ago, Monge Malo, the best sales trainer in Spanish language talked about The Abilene Parados. The Abilene Paradox happens when a group of people does something nobody actually wants to do because everyone assumes the others want it. Like Christmas dinners. Or most corporate meetings. Twelve adults in a room. Nobody agrees. Nobody believes the plan. Nobody thinks the process makes sense. But everyone nods. The junior person thinks the senior people know better. The senior person...
