Don’t be average.

Let’s talk today about… Brian. Brian is nothing remarkable, nothing to fight for, no ambitions in life. He lives on the surface of things, never digging deeper into any aspect of life. He’s more focused on appearance, image, and "seeming" than on "being." He lacks a solid framework of values and principles. His morality shifts with the circumstances, leading to inconsistent and incoherent behavior. He always seeks immediate pleasure and avoids pain at all costs. His life revolves around chasing pleasurable experiences, avoiding any form of commitment or sacrifice. He is alone because he’s incapable of committing to causes, relationships, or ideals. He prefers to maintain an attitude of indifference and detachment. He’s self-centered, with little regard for others. His relationships are shallow and transactional, based on what others can offer him. He struggles to cope with adversity and tends to feel frustration and existential emptiness. ​ Brian is not real… but he is the average citizen. ​ He is a symptom of a society that has lost its deeper sense of purpose and doesn’t know which way to turn. ​ I used to feel a little like Brian. But then I discovered that if you stray off the beaten path and push your way through the undergrowth, you’ll get a few scratches—but you’ll also gain experiences that truly give life meaning. ​ A few weeks ago, I decided to share this path with my mentorship. Life has been good to me, so why not share what works for me? You’ll learn to focus on what really matters, to read what truly matters, to take thing under your control, to embrace growth mindset, and yes… I also talk about how to make money—and most importantly, to invest it wisely. ​ The only thing standing between you and starting this journey is clicking below. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

It’s not a story of mine. 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...
