In case your parents decided to torture you


Look at what I learned today from the great Isra Bravo.

Imagine you are born today.

Yes… today.

Imagine now that your parents want to torture you.

And they decide to make you watch all the videos uploaded to YouTube today. Just the day of your birth…

As a welcoming gift to you to introduce you to the world you’re going to live on.

I repeat.

​
Every single video uploaded to YouTube.
And only the videos from that day.
Exclusively those.

Not a single more.

Well…

Do you know when you would finish watching them?

​
At 82 years old.

Hundreds of thousands of hours of content are uploaded every single day—just on YouTube.

That being said, do you still think that bulk information is worth anything today?

​
Do you think watching YouTube videos or reading random posts on Instagram will lead to success in business, life, or personal growth?

Better get comfortable—because it’s going to take a while.

What’s truly valuable comes down to two things:

  1. Information that gives you deep knowledge.
  2. Knowing how to use it.

I get it. I’ve been CEO. I know what ego feels like. That urge to change things. To leave your mark. To justify the big salary. I get it. But changing things that already work? Just to prove you exist? No. That I don’t get. Look. I’ve been speaking with people across PPP and Real Estate. Different countries. Same story. “Like beheaded chickens.” Clients changing direction mid-procurement. Swapping teams halfway through. Rewriting strategy… in the middle of a transaction. Yes. That bad. Even...

Most consultants are expensive spectators. Nice slides.Clean Excel models.Zero impact. They show up.They talk.They disappear. And the project?Still stuck. In the mouse wheel… running but still in the same place. It may be the perverse incentive of maximizing gains by increasing scope and delaying everything… although that’s for another days. Look… In big projects, nobody pays you for your time.They pay you for one thing: Movement. Decisions made.Problems killed.Risks reduced.Money saved....

This is a nice week for me. Birthday and week of great decisions. Decisions on my businesses. Decisions on my investments. Important ones. You see… I feel butterflies in my stomach. Fear. Doubts. So, I know perfectly well that I’m growing. I’m making progress. Look. Matt Gray, someone you should follow on LinkedIn – it’s free and you’ll learn a lot from him – said the other day that your circle establishes your ceiling. Your boss. Your friends. Your business partners. Your colleagues. Etc....
