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.

Obesity is a big public-health challenge, affecting over 1bn people worldwide in 2025. According to The Economist, guys that love models and projections… this is projected to double by 2035. And you know how is doing anything about it? Almost nobody. And doing things for real? Nobody at all. The usual suspects are known, and demonstrated to be guilty. Lack of exercise, excess of sugar and products you won’t give to your dog. Still, nobody makes tackle any of these things a priority. Not even...
I did not know that idea from Bezos. Yes, the Amazon guy. Getting better with time like good wine. Apparently, when organizing meetings he is a weirdoo. And one of his weirdadas is that “if you have to order two pizzas, there are too many people in the meeting”. Of course, he does not care about people fasting. The idea is that 80% of the best decisions, ideas, etc. come from the 20% of people. So, why having to spend more money on pizzas… Bezitos is known for saving to the penny… and the...
Yesterday I saw an orange New Beetle. I love cars. And this “orange” that seemed so eccentric and powerful reminded me a picture I saw in LinkedIn. The picture compares two parking lots. One in the 70s and another one today. In the 70s, you had a rainbow of colours. Green, blue, red, yellow, orange… Different tones… If you go today to a parking lot, you’ll see black, white, a few grey and fewer red and blue. We are in a world where it’s better not to grab attention. To go with the flow....
