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.

It’s a superpower. But people are not interested in the others’ point of view. Just in theirs. We are egocentric by nature. So listening it’s a superpower. I let the agent to do the talking. My side, just questions and nodding. Disclosures? None… well… there was some flooding… Price expectations? This property in 2021 would be selling by… Yes, but what are the owners expectations today. Well… in January, they received an offer by X and was rejected, now… I’m not sure what they owners will...
Arguments, unfortunately, don’t work. It’s proven. People don’t change their beliefs. At least, not with arguments. The reason arguments do not work is that most people hold their ideas and values without thinking about them. Think of politics. Think of clauses that you’ve seen in contracts. Think of people supporting their favourite teams. There is a strong emotional content in their beliefs. They really do not want to have to rework their habits of thinking, and when you challenge them,...
Impossible. Nobody can be that stupid. Well… welcome to another day. A contractor (let’s call him Mr. Optimism) decided to “save time” on a warehouse project. How? By installing the roof before securing the steel structure with the final bolts. “Don’t worry, jefe, it holds by itself.” Famous last words of every construction project ever. The weather app showed light breeze. New Zealand showed: “Hold my beer.” A 45-km/h gust arrived, grabbed the entire roof like a giant frisbee, and sent it...
