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.

One in the 70s and another one today. In the 70s, you had a rainbow of colours. Green, blue, red, yellow, orange… Different tones… If you go today to a parking lot, you’ll see black, white, a few grey and fewer red and blue. We are in a world where it’s better not to grab attention. To go with the flow....
He was betrayed by his wife. Stop taking pills. Finishing studies. Recently married. Moved to a new town. Bought a house. In debt, for furniture and all the set up of a new life together. I’m pregnant. OK… Twins. Tough 7-8 months. Lots of medical issues. Risk. Stress. Danger. Anger and fear. All went well at the end. But things could not go that well any longer. Now he is a single dad. Moved away. Reorganized his life in a new country. From scratch. With two wonderful 14 years-old boys. When...
I learnt today that a great professional I know got laid down. After more than 30 years in the same company. Delivering amazing projects. Making millions… if not billions – yes, with “b” for the company. A big, important guy. A great guy, by the way. Personally and professionally. He’s shocked. And in his late 50s… after being at the top in uncountable projects, deciding over the lives of hundreds of employees, contractors and subcontractors. He feels vulnerable. Not sure if you had realized....
