Innocent form of exaggeration
|
“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion” Donal Trump – The art of the deal ​ At the end of this week, I’ll double the price of the book below. There is no bravado. No exaggeration. Those are my real numbers. If you don’t get any idea after reading it, you’ll have to seek professional help… well… maybe this is the little hyperbole that you needed, right? Have a great Monday! ​

I learnt today that a great professional I know got laid down. After more than 30 years in the same company. Delivering amazing projects. Making millions… if not billions – yes, with “b” for the company. A big, important guy. A great guy, by the way. Personally and professionally. He’s shocked. And in his late 50s… after being at the top in uncountable projects, deciding over the lives of hundreds of employees, contractors and subcontractors. He feels vulnerable. Not sure if you had realized....
One of the people I mentor told me last Tuesday that he wanted to know more about PPPs. I said. You’re wrong. Time to remove your mask. You don’t want to “learn about PPPs.” You want Make more money Access big projects Differentiate yourself professionally Break out of stagnation Gain authority / status Work on things that matter Your pain is not technical. It’s existential and professional. So time to be honest with yourself. If you do great things that nobody sees. If you want to pass from...
