If you receive emails in CC, do this

When I assess how most professionals and entrepreneurs manage their time, I see the same mistake on repeat. They treat every task as equally important and/or equally urgent. So, they get bogged down with massive to-do lists, where responding to administrative emails assumes the same importance as servicing top clients. Stress is high. Burn-out massive. Effectiveness low. Results inexistent. Your tasks shouldn’t all carry equal weight. And some of the tasks on your list may not deserve any of your time at all. I know that it’s hard, but… that’s life. There is a 2x2 Decision Framework. It’s a practical way to keep your sanity intact so you can focus on your most important work. This framework forces every task on your list into one of four categories: 1. Do Now: High urgency, high importance ​I see many people gamifying tasks, feeling good about writing down another tick, done. But then, they get frustrated because they don’t see results. Your time and energy are your most precious assets. Wasting your time ticking boxes for a momentary reward of dopamine is not going to bring you closer to your objectives. Sticking to what’s important is. It’s hard. It works. You’ll thank me for that. So, next time that you have your inbox full of messages where you are CC… think of which quadrant that task is… Then, press DELETE. If learning new things, progressing into your personal growth through mentors and coaches is a priority for you, you can SCHEDULE below.

The idea of passive income is a fairy tale. Make money while you sleep. Ha! Sorry. Do you know what you need for that? Money. A lot of money. And if you haven’t previously built a damn empire, you won’t have enough money. The reality about creating that empire is different. It’s raw, ugly. I’m not here to sweeten the poison. Being an entrepreneur is not a fantasy, it’s a contact sport… when you’re the punching bag. What you’ve been told about real estate is a lie. Entrepreneurship in this...
Phones, tablets, robots… Every skill you have today and that you believe is marketable won't be in a few short years. These will be some skills though that will remain in extreme demand for a decade or so. AI engineers. Why? Because somebody needs to deploy the wonderful alien technology we've discovered - to increase automation of every company and organization. Some will become millionaires, and billionaires. Most will be employees. I saw the trend 25 years ago with communications. Great...
Although Christmas Eve, I'm not talking about elves.... but I'm sure you have seen these ones. When some people are given a little bit of power, they tend to use it ruthlessly. Frustrated people that use that power to get away for a few seconds of their miserable lives. Today, I’m talking about a poor public servant that because a stupid mistake they want to charge me 14.937 euros instead of 668,32 euros. “I have the power to impose it, and I won’t change my mind” And tomorrow, I’ll find...
