It's becoming tabu
|
It’s a constant. When you talk freely about money you’re critized. And not just from Spain, the country that is a fiscal hell but the paradise of criticism and the prosecution of the rich, no… It’s everywhere. It’s becoming a kind of tabu. Look. The world is full of people who say, "money isn’t important". Good for them. But I think they don’t know what they’re saying. They just say it for the sake of saying it. It’s a cliché. If they stopped for a moment to think, they would realize that money matters to them more than they’re willing to admit. For money, they spend a large part of their lives doing things they deeply hate. So Spain is a poor country, or Spanish people poor in mindset. And it’s a pity, because some of the stories I tell in the book below, that money made through smart investing, are in Spain. And if you can make money there… trust me, you can everywhere.

It also sends the market a clear message: Don’t trust the pipeline. I bring this example, because governments want to build...
Every day, I write down three things. It’s a 5-minute routine at the end of the day. First, I write down what I’m grateful for. It can be something that happened that day… or something more general. Second, I write about something I want to improve. A skill. A behaviour. Even how my desk is set up. Third, I write down five tasks that I’m going to complete the following day. And this is the most important part of the routine. Only five. That’s it. Not 10. Not 20. Five. Cinco. Things that are...
Yesterday, four years ago, I made a promise. To make the world a little better. For real. And without excuses. When your child is placed in your arms, you don’t just receive love. You receive responsibility. Fear. Hope. And you make promises you may never say out loud. Promises about the person you will become. About the example you will set. About the world you will leave behind. I accepted those promises. And the challenge. The only problem was knowing where to start. How do you change the...
