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.

In this mail, you’ll learn an invaluable lesson about sales… Don’t believe me? Just keep reading. A few days ago, I had a conversation with a great entrepreneur. He is in a new venture. He tries to implement AI in small and medium size building. The progress is slow. Not the kind of exponential growth that AI promises. The slogan? We help you to make more money with less. More profit. More growth. I explained him something. People don’t want to make more money. They say they want, but they...
I arrived on a Sunday night. Jet lagged. Second time I crossed the Atlantic. I woke up early. Full day of meetings. My head was hurting. Jet-lag… and the Quebecois accent. 4 years without having said a word in French, and now… that weird accent. At 6pm, I was really in bad shape. I said… I go to the hotel, I need a quick dinner and a sleep. “Yes, Vicente, do that… and remember that at 10:30pm, we are leaving” “?????”. Well… Apparently, with all that accent, I had not understood that I had to...
This email contains the formula to learn anything. It’s not a secret. And it’s obvious. And you know it. But your ass loves to be comfortable. Look. Most of us learn to ride a bicycle only by falling off a few times. We learn to walk by falling a few times. Then we get to school, and we are taught not to fall. We are taught that people who fall are stupid. We are taught that smart people are people who sit like the three birds on the fence and memorize the right answers. I was a nerd. Less...
