Are you living like a celibate priest?
|
When you realize that the celibacy of Catholic priests, cardinals, and even the Pope has more to do with issues arising from the inheritance of descendants than with a mythical sacrifice to devote themselves to God... you realize that they’ve been deceiving you, manipulating you, creating obedient little sheep. ​ This case is not unique. ​ People's minds are full of preconceptions, fixed ideas, and false myths. ​ In all aspects of life. Laws. Regulations. Politics. Religion. Etc. ​ Personal finance, contract management and business are not different. But, as I don’t care what’s on the TV or social media, these things touch me every day. And they touch you every day too. ​ People were told stories. They believed them. Without understanding the why of the myth. ​ This is what I try to do in the course below. Perfect thing to do in a weekend. Learn and fill your head with new thoughts and perspectives. ​ This course is about mistakes in a project, but you could apply the learnings to any project, to any business and even your life because I try to go to the root of the whys and the myth creation. ​ I challenge you. What are you going to do this weekend that will mark a milestone in your path? ​ I propose you this. ​The 15 Lessons Learned of a PPP Project Nightmare​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

No. The great Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in his book Antifragile compared two people: a high-level executive with a good salary, dressed in a suit and tie, and an immigrant taxi driver, self-employed, with a variable income and dressed as best he can. Taleb remarked that, while the executive may seem to have a calmer, more secure life with a better salary, better suits, and nicer restaurants, deep down, he lived in immense internal fear. He sh*t in his pants. This fear...
I say it many times. People prefer to be right than making money. Successful people though have less ego and more money in their pocket. Don’t believe so? Let me ask you what you would do in this situation. In 1997, the movie The War of Troy premiered, with a production budget of $15 million. Easy… probably you never heard of it, right? Well… after it was completed, it was shown in two theatres, sold $309 in tickets, and Warner Brothers pulled it. Sent it to hell. Why? Why not show it in more...
Christmas is a fantastic moment of the year to check how the world work. Many people have no idea of what your hard-earned dollars that move the world work. Many people still ask me whether to invest as a company or as individual. Look. One of the biggest financial predators of our money is the government… Taxes. You want the new Mac. Retail cost 2.300$. Imagine that you are lucky and make 10.000$ a month and you want to buy that Mac. The government eats around 40% in income tax. You got...
