At the beginning I didn’t want to believe it. Until I watched the video by myself. It’s just a 30-second video. It will change forever the way you look at the world. Some guys go to the center of a plaza in a tourist city with a mannequin. Now, think for a minute. Maybe two minutes. Is your brain not exploding? No? Not yet? ​ ​ Let’s say that you are also lazy… that you have other commitments like watching the latest movie in Netflix. Then, let’s imagine that only 150 days a year are good, you have no commitments, the weather is not that bad, and your boss didn’t ask you for a new Power Point Presentation. Let’s also be super cautious. Suppose there are only a few peak hours. Just 4 good hours a day. Yes… just 25.
150 × 4 × 25 = 15,000 dollars a year. It’s probably more than double that amount, but let’s say that it’s just that: 15,000 dollars a year… Per statue. Yes… who said that you could use only one. So, 45.000 dollars a year with:
I know what’s happening right now through your brain. Yes… I know it quite well. Right now your brain is working at lightning speed to come up with reasons why this wouldn’t work:
Keep going. ​ ​ ​ Exactly one year ago… I created a portfolio with my money. Real money. Real cash. I invested following a series of guidelines. This is the result. Investing 100.000 euros, or 140.6k CAD dollars… Look at this: 30 September: 140,600.84 31 October: 139,533.02 30 November: 149,311.00 31 December: 152,101.00 31 January: 158,959.08 29 February: 165,329.06 31 March: 169,995.03 30 April: 167,714.94 31 May: 176,419.64 30 June: 179,177.74 31 July: 182,027.52 30 August: 182,772.25 30 September: 186,818.21 ​Return since creation: 32.87% or 46,217.37 CAD dollars. Still, you’ll be thinking… that this is impossible, it won’t happen again, someone will ask me for a new Power Point presentation… While you’re thinking why not to buy the course below, my portfolio is making money for me. ​Invest better than 99% of people... including fund managers​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

In some meetings, what you really need is… A proper fart. Yes. Loud. Wet. Smelly. “Con dos cojon€s.” Or with two balls. I’m talking about those meetings with no life and no soul. Boring. No agenda. No direction. “Update meetings”, they call them. They could at least give you popcorn. Or coffee. Or a shot of caffeinated life. I don’t know. Look. There are, at least, 5 things you simply cannot do in meetings. The first one is having more than two people at the table… Although I understand this...
I’m closing a real estate deal in the range of millions. Still, people around the deal are discussing $150 fees. It doesn’t make sense to me. It shouldn’t make sense to you either. The discussion around that fee is not worth more than 2 or 3 words in a lost sentence. Not in a deal like this. Think about it. If you don’t have room in your model to accommodate $150, you probably shouldn’t be doing this business. If your lawyers don’t see the waste of time and money involved in discussing $150…...
We don’t like to admit this. Because it sounds weak. Because it sounds like we don’t fully control our destiny. Because we prefer to believe we are lone wolves, alpha beasts, independent thinkers, and all that LinkedIn testosterone poetry. Sorry… but I have to tell you. Your performance is heavily influenced by the expectations of the people around you. Psychologists call it the Pygmalion effect. Simple idea.
