An absurd way to look more professional


Many people tell me that sending emails from an address called “theantagonist”, writing Spanish, using casual language, etc. is unprofessional.
And that if they were to hire someone to provide advice on transactions of millions of dollars, they wouldn’t trust someone using that name.

​

Let me tell you something.

​

You can apply this learning to any aspect of your life.

​

People are completely lost.

​

Yes. That’s it.

​

They confuse being professional with being dull.

​
And by “professional,” they refer to companies where appearances matter more than actions.

​

Companies that are in expensive buildings whose costs is passed down to you.

Companies where a culture of fear toward the boss has been created—that superior being dedicated to mistreating subordinates while telling them how lucky they are to work for him.

Companies that have wonderful speeches about unicorns on the rainbow planet and conduct endless customer satisfaction surveys, but when a real issue arises, no one is there to solve it.

​

This is what being professional means to dull people.

​

For me, it’s not.

​

For me, being professional means putting my client above everything else and providing quality service.
Being professional means working with passion and joy, striving to make each day better than the last.
Being professional means obsessively thinking about how to improve my existing projects and develop new ones.
Being professional means working tirelessly to create quality content and make myself known to more people every day.
Being professional means building an audience that learns with me, works with me, and enjoys the journey with me.

That is what being professional means.
And that is what I do every day.

​

Simple web sites with no pictures, plain texts, black and while colors… all of that is a deliberate choice that distances me from dull people and brings me closer to the kind of people I want.

People with a positive attitude and energy.

People who can laugh, even about themselves.
People who know that you can work and have fun at the same time.
People who understand what truly matters in life.
​
​

In summary, real people not minions.

​

If you are with me, I have a proposal today. Check it out.

You know that working 8 hours a day for over 40 years straight, just to retire and finally enjoy “the life of your dreams” in the last stage of your life has never been my cup of tea. My goal is not the Lambo. It’s not drinking overpriced wine… and obviously not New Zealand red wines. I just want to own my time. That’s it. Some people call this financial freedom. You know that I read about the subject. Forums, blogs, books, and… from time to time I did it on social media. Yes… it was a time...

When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. Now that I have a little money, all I hear when someone talks about others is: “I love that guy,” “He’s brilliant,” “What a machine”, “Qué huevos tiene”, etc. Failures focus on hating. Successful people focus on admiring—and finding people worth admiring. Failures assume malice. Successful people assume kindness. Failures obsess over what they don’t like. Successful people are blind to what they don’t like. Failures...

“When you understand that every opinion is a vision loaded with personal history, you will begin to understand that all judgment is a confession.” – Nikola Tesla Note that sentence. Do it by hand. Yes, in a piece of paper. Have it next to your screen, desk, or whatever. Read it every day. and every time a stupid shows you his stupidity through his month. If that sentence does not make you jump out of your chair to do something productive... you simply have no blood in your veins. That's all...
