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.

Sometimes I’m heavily criticised. And I love it. Just awakening consciences. You oversimplify. Things are not that black or white. The situation was complex. Etc. And yes. It’s true. Simplification is important in our lives. Unless you’re a FlatEarther, you won’t be surprised if I say that the Earth is round. Or spherical. But that’s an oversimplification, because it’s not. However, for your day to day, that simplification is enough. You don’t care if the radius of the Earth is a few...
Anglo-Saxon country. Mid-200s. A public agency having wet dreams… They said “Don’t worry, the lenders will step in.”Like it was a rescue… It was a crime scene. The project had already collapsed.Construction delays, cost overruns, contractors running for the hills. The SPV was bleeding cash faster than it could spell “refinancing.” Of course, everyone looked at the guys in suits… So the lenders felt the pressure and for once, they worked a little bit. They exercised their step-in rights. Poor...
There are only 4 types of personalities. Goldfinches, parrots, pigeons, and foxes. That’s how the world is organized.Goldfinches sing, parrots repeat, pigeons wander around, and foxes feast on goldfinches, parrots, and pigeons. Goldfinches talk. They tell everyone how things should be done. They write books about Marx, give lectures to entrepreneurs, and preach about how the economy ought to work. Parrots repeat. They vote, cheer, kneel, lick, suck, swallow, and when a stranger scores a goal,...
