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.

I talk about Personal Growth, Management, Infrastructure and More | 👇JOIN +2k readers 👇
These days, still in Spain, I had the opportunity to talk to many infrastructure professionals. Things are slow. Bad. Nothing new. Construction companies are risk averse. They prefer private clients now… aka, data centers and batteries. Projects are small. Lenders are worried. Etc. Look. Every guru out there is writing, talking, showing "projections for 2026"... It's as typical as the new year eve. It arrives every year. Together with their mistakes. And my friends, gurus included, forget...
You learn by doing. As Robert Kiyosaki said if you think that mistakes are bad, you’re doomed. Imagine yourself with this attitude: “I’ve taken action, I’ve made some mistakes, and now I can learn from those mistakes”. In this case, you’ll be a much richer person. In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...
Small children don’t wait. They come with their “wee, wee” statement… like a Change Notice on Christmas Eve. And it means now. Not in 1 min, that I’m eating. No. Just right now. In a rush, you take over everything you need for such a complex operation. Peeing in a public / restaurant toilet. And you arrive in a rush. Then, you realized the obvious thing. Too many tables. Too many people eating. Too few bathrooms. The waiting list announces the inevitable. A wee-wee accident. Kids are not made...
