Concerns about the Wailing Wall
|
The gate at my kids' daycare is a Wailing Wall. I don't know if it's some kind of group therapy or what, but people there just can't stop complaining:
Whatever. But, I’m sure you know that complaining isn’t something exclusive to parents. Complains have been institutionalized. In today's society, defeatism is the norm…. and you’ll see once that Trump wins or Kamala wins the election… just wait and see. But think of this for a moment. Most people hear the alarm, get out of bed, and drag themselves to the bathroom. Cold water, bad coffee, and off to work. A quick break for lunch and back to work again. Then they come home tired. Shower, TV, bed, and back on the hamster wheel… start all over again. And so it goes almost every damn day of their lives. Even though a day has 24 hours, they barely find time to spend some quality moments with their kids, exercise, read, or simply do nothing. Because make no mistake, touching your balls for leisure doing nothing else is true health. But no… Always in a rush. Always doing things they’d rather not be doing. Always hoping to win the lottery. Always hoping to have more money. Always the same story. Every day, always the same. And you know what’s worst? Something very curious happens with these people. Despite their obvious discontent, despite living in a constant state of complaint, only a minority actually do something to change it. The rest, without moving more muscles than their tongue, revel in their dissatisfaction, their complaints, their misery. "Everything sucks." From the couch of lamentations. With the news on, or Netflix on, or ice cream on. If you need some vitamins for your brain that can keep you out of the hamster wheel, I can propose you this. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

How you do anything is how you do everything. Leave something half-done or poorly executed and people assume the rest of your work looks exactly the same. Maybe that’s unfair.Maybe it’s not true. Doesn’t matter. That’s the perception on the other side of the table. If you don’t show leadership in a simple information meeting, why would anyone trust you to lead when the deal gets complicated? If you perform poorly once, what are the chances the other side believes the next time will be...
Everything you want is on the opposite side of fear. Let’s pause for a minute and let these words sink. I’m in the middle of a complex transaction for my real estate businesses… and those words couldn’t resonate more in me. Those feelings tell me that I’m on the right path. I’m getting out of my comfort zone, and this is great. There is nothing positive in the comfort of your couch. I can’t tell you this. If you don’t feel those butterflies in your stomach. If you don’t feel the fear. The...
World-class infrastructure. This is what I hear 90% of the time in any room on the client side. Let’s be honest. PPPs are often seen as the silver bullet to deliver big, bigger, massive stuff. The longest. The highest. The most advanced. The more expensive. Then things get into trouble and whose fault is it? The private sector. “Super expensive.” “Incredibly expensive.” “The private sector is making billions out of the poor, ingenious, and naïve taxpayer.” Give me a break. When your client...
