Another sh*ty Monday


I read these lines today:

​

Choosing to do good and be kind to others is a powerful way to live. When you extend kindness, whether through a small gesture or a significant act, you ignite a spark that uplifts those around you, creating a ripple effect. This approach not only enhances others' well-being but also boosts your own happiness reminding us that even the smallest gestures can leave a lasting impact. Great cultures thrive on kindness. Agree?

​

It’s Monday, so be kind to yourself.

Learn something new.

Negotiate something with your boss, or a client, or your partner.

Make a low ball offer on something you want.

Say no to a stupid meeting.

Make a call to a friend you have not heard about for a while.

Send a love message to someone.

Talk to someone you don’t know.

Do 100 reps, and then push 10 more.

​

Be kind to yourself.

Grow.

Create your culture.

Progress.

Move.

Bad contract, bad project but great people… you have a chance. But if the people that know how to make things to happen are not there… forget about it. So agencies burn billions of dollars globally...

How to pick up the one? Easy. Imagine that you want to renovate your kitchen… then ask yourself… what do you want of that company? That they have lots of experience. That they have lots of happy clients. That they give you a fair price. Do you want a successful PPP? Start by the people. Yes. Those guys that will be reading the contract, interpret it and deal with the unexpected. On real time.

How to make the other party to understand. This is one of the key problems that more often I receive on my desk. I always start by one question. “Have you talked to them?”. “Many times”. “And…?” “They don’t understand” “Then, you have not dig enough” Yeah.
