About cheating
|
They call it “cheating”. That bad it is. The school system, the system paid and sustained by your taxes. They train students to take tests on their own. If a child attempts to cooperate at test time… as I said… it is called ‘cheating.’ In the real world, business owners cooperate at test time. Engineers cooperate at test time. And so on… In life, except in the critical time for your brain, school time, every day is test time. Then, they penalize you to make mistakes. You do a mistake; you fail the test. You are blamed, even ridiculed. In real life, many entrepreneurs don’t really become businesspeople until after they lose their first business. Salespeople, the same. You must lose many sales, to become good at work. We continue to be trained and wired as in the industrial times when we needed meat for the factories. The damage to your brain can be permanent. Scaping almost impossible. I don’t know what you do, or how you want your children to be educated. But I want my child to learn by doing, and by making mistakes. I want him to be creator and innovator. I’ve been in corporate life for too long to know that staying busy in your busyness and not building anything is chain your future to a blackberry. You can also start building. On the side, without stupid risks. With the two feet on the ground. Building a career increasing your options. Building a business without risking your life. Building your wealth without breaking a bank. Common sense. Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

This email contains the formula to learn anything. It’s not a secret. And it’s obvious. And you know it. But your ass loves to be comfortable. Look. Most of us learn to ride a bicycle only by falling off a few times. We learn to walk by falling a few times. Then we get to school, and we are taught not to fall. We are taught that people who fall are stupid. We are taught that smart people are people who sit like the three birds on the fence and memorize the right answers. I was a nerd. Less...
Before answering that question whose answer may change the way you see life, let me tell you something. Today is settlement day for me. Another deal. Aristotle once said this: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”. I like deals. I do deals. I become a deal maker. With more deals, I’m becoming a better deal maker. This thing that may seem simple or easy to you is less usual than you think. Excellence is achieved by repetition, and improving through each...
Do you believe that Amazon could be built by Jeff Bezos doing 15$/hour tasks? I have this debate very often with entrepreneurs from all sorts of backgrounds. They believe that they need to do everything by themselves. If you want a business not to grow, or you want your business to get stuck or simply your health going to hell… do all by yourself. Schedule meetings, take minutes, actions, do follow ups, check the receipts, upload this into the accounting tool, etc. etc. etc. All by yourself....
