Gold out of the weeds

Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places. I’m not saying Cook Island, Vanuatu, Fiji… some of my last trips, but “other places”. You’ll get sued. You’ll sue someone. You’ll get robbed. You’ll make amazing friends. You’ll meet incredible people and partners. You’ll grow… faster than “the rest”. You’ll become smarter, calmer, more focused… faster than the rest, by the way. ​ Be around people that you admire will push you closer to that people… you’ll become one of them. This is why friends, colleagues, partners and so on are so critical. Solo you can do things faster, but with great people around you, you’ll go further. ​ One of the things that cost me a long, long time to learn was the “focus”. To separate the gold out of the weeds.

So they did what PPP manuals love to say: “Allocate risk to the party best able to manage it.” That sentence has probably financed more claims for lawyers than any other in infrastructure history....
This is the key question that made his face change. Last week. A mentee. Shocked by a very simple question. Look, I’ve seen through the years people living in a cage. Of self-imposed believes and limitations. You can blame your parents, your wife or husband, society, the lefties, Bad Bunny or Donald T. Whatever. These limitations, self-imposed, are holding you back. If you believe that it’s impossible to multiply by 10 your income… You’ll miss the opportunity of letting your brain being in...
Once I had a friend called Valentin. His parents gave him that name long time ago because he was born on 14 February. In Spain, there are still many people naming their children with the name of the saint of the day… or the day they were married, or things like that. Well… His parents could not foresee at the time the long term consequences of their choice. San Valentine was not at the time the word-wide phenomenon that it’s today. But still… there was some noise. Well… The thing is that...
