Dividends paid long term

We’re always comparing ourselves to others. We shouldn’t. Comparing yourself to others and complaining about anything are your best friends of poverty. What if we showed up to work every day simply to be better than ourselves. What if your objective every day was to become better than your yesterday self. I think that is a better WHY than your pay raise, your next sale, your next business… it pays great dividends on the long run. You don’t need to worry anymore for the next great idea Netanyahu, or what the Excel model of the FED have to say, about your company next quarter result, or that client that resists to “give work”, or the decisions of some guys pumping oil in doggy countries… If you improve yourself every day, you’ll be safe. That’s my promise. If you wake up with that sentence in your mouth every day, if you determine what you’ll improve today, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow in your skills, life, business or work… you’ll be unstoppable. I’m preparing something that will give you some ammunition in your efforts. Let me know if you are interested here: ​Click here.

He had received the document shortly beforehand. He hadn’t read it carefully. Excellent preparation… that I truly recommend for you. Then came a perfectly reasonable question:...
You probably know it. 1999 NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter. One team supplied data in English units. The other expected metric. The spacecraft travelled for nine months before the mistake became everybody’s problem. That is a very long journey to discover you needed one awkward conversation. Now, I’m not suggesting you’re about to lose a spacecraft. Your project or your job has its own ways of making you miserable. You sit in a meeting. Someone says, “The contractor has accepted that...
A few of you have complained that the prices of some courses in The Room have gone up. And that The Room itself costs more now. Yes. That’s true. Look. The feedback I keep getting is that I’m practically giving away 20 years of PPP experience for peanuts. So I’ve decided to make the peanuts slightly more expensive. As I say on every course page, prices will never go down. They can only go up. And look… they already have. If you’re already inside The Room, your price is yours for life. If you...
