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.

Almost a year in the market. 3.5 million. Then, 3.0. Then, 2.9. I liked it, I compared it with the market. I thought that 2.8 – 2.9 mil could be a good deal. Offer: 2.75 million. Not very big, not too fancy… but a view. You have to pay well for those things in NZ… and not an investment, but a place to live. Anyway. Counter-offer… 3.2 million. The agent called it buyer’s regret. I call it, not serious. This happened in December. And this is not uncommon. I’ve seen teams that once named...
Eastern Europe. Late 2000s. If you are old enough, you can feel the context. A massive highways PPP. Toll road. Billions in capex. One of those “nation-building” projects politicians love to parade in front of TV cameras. You can smell now the country… Your consortia are seasoned. Anyone knowing how to pour asphalt on top of something lined up. Your lenders are aligned. Your traffic advisors have gone blind staring at stochastic models. Everyone is gearing up for a clean, competitive...
I buy houses, apartments and buildings from 20.000km distance. In Spain, Panama, New Zealand… and I can stay anywhere. Of course, I don’t recommend that for you. Some people want to push globalization too much. Having assets in London, NY, Madrid, Singapore, Sydney, etc. at the same time is not good for your health, nor your pocket. You miss specialization. You miss learning and knowing well a market. When bidding PPP projects, I have seen successful bidders doing so from the distance....
