Change can happen to you. If you are one of those that think that a person cannot change… go to the ophthalmologist, you need a review.

Vinh Giang, a raising start in communication, says that “don’t be so attached to who you are in the present, that you don’t give the future version of you a chance”. And he is so right. We are attached to our habits, even if we know that they are bad. To our friends, even if they are toxic. To our city, even if we know there is no great future there.

If people expect little from you… You often deliver little. If people expect more...
A guy once told me a story. A friend of his used to do business with an architect. And in this architect’s office there was a brick. Not a sculpture. Not a model. Not some sophisticated architectural piece made with sustainable Nordic clay blessed by monks. A brick. A normal brick. But the brick was sitting on a rotating platform. With a spotlight pointing at it. Very serious. Like the bloody thing was the Mona Lisa. So one day the guy asked: “Why the hell do you have a brick spinning under a...
$10 million companies are not built on $10 tasks. Read this again. Let it sink. I told something like that once to my brother when we were expanding our real estate company in Panama. Because when you grow, something funny happens. You say you want a bigger business. More sales. More projects. More money. More freedom.
