About powerful reflexes
|
Repetition is a very powerful tool. I’ve done kung fu for many years. You can do very well a movement, understand the technique, but only the repetition of that technique more than 1000 times makes you interiorize the technique and convert it into a reflex. It’s that simple. Repetition. If you are to use that technique in real life and a punch comes in, you don’t have the time to think about the technique. If you do, the punch got you first. This is something that you can apply to anything you do. And it works for the best and the worst. You repeat badly… you’ll interiorize that reflex. That’s bad. And this is something that works mentally. The rehearsal of meetings and situations in your brain is more important than you think. Do it over and over and your answers will become reflexes… Instead, many people tell themselves after an important meeting: “sh*t, I should have said that”. You know what I’m talking, right? But there is more than that. It’s about you treat yourself. Remember, the most important resource in your project or business is yourself. You need to take care of yourself, forgive your mistakes, and avoid being too hard on yourself. Occasionally, allow yourself to take a break—a free day to disconnect from responsibilities and recharge. Reflect on why you're putting in this effort, doubling your time and energy, and realign with your goals. Being hard on yourself is non-sense… and if you do it every time after a mistake, it will become a reflex… To avoid it, your brain you stay quiet… instead of taking calculated risks. I can give you a hand with reflexes. You can book me below.

“Learn the rules like a pro… so you can break them like an artist.” — Pablo Picasso I used to repeat this to my teams when the time came… But if you asked them what Vicente would do in almost any situation, the answer was simple: “Follow the contract.” Always. Because most people don’t even understand the rules they’re trying to “bend”. They jump to shortcuts. They improvise. They create risk. That’s not creativity. That’s incompetence. First, you master the contract. You know every clause....
Research shows that doctors with 20 years of experience… Are often less skilled than when they first left medical school. Read that again. Less skilled. Let that sink in. These doctors didn’t become worse overnight. They just stopped evolving. They got trapped in routines. In habits. In outdated ways of thinking. So instead of 20 years of experience… They have 1 year of experience repeated 20 times. Shocking? Really? Because, it shouldn’t be. This is the norm. Think of... Engineering....
Yesterday, a student told me:“ You’re selling this for peanuts.” He’s right. I know it. But when something is working… when things are flowing… You don’t touch it. At least, that’s what they say. But here’s the problem: Underpricing is not generosity. It’s positioning. And I’m done positioning this as cheap. So yes…I’m breaking the rule. I’m increasing the price of everything in the academy. All of it. Today, you can still get in at the current price. Tomorrow? You’ll pay double. For example,...
