When healthy food is available and junk food isn’t, you eat better. When your phone’s in greyscale and you delete social apps, you look at your phone less. When you set up automatic transfers to your savings account, you save more. ​ This is not me. It’s science. ​ It’s not just willpower. It’s not just discipline. ​ Your environment does set the rules. ​ When you set up the scene, you model your willpower. ​ Do you want to do more exercise? Prepare your clothes, your shoes… or create a gym at home… make it impossible to miss. No distractions? Send your mobile phone to hell, disconnect internet, put your favourite playlist… ​ Habits and environments. That simple. ​ No wonder why if you stick around successful people, you tend to be successful yourself. You enter in an environment that favours success. And if you stick around complainers, weak people with not that great mindset… you’ll become one of them. ​ Here you are something, I learned by sticking with successful people, create an environment and try things myself. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

So they did what PPP manuals love to say: “Allocate risk to the party best able to manage it.” That sentence has probably financed more claims for lawyers than any other in infrastructure history....
This is the key question that made his face change. Last week. A mentee. Shocked by a very simple question. Look, I’ve seen through the years people living in a cage. Of self-imposed believes and limitations. You can blame your parents, your wife or husband, society, the lefties, Bad Bunny or Donald T. Whatever. These limitations, self-imposed, are holding you back. If you believe that it’s impossible to multiply by 10 your income… You’ll miss the opportunity of letting your brain being in...
Once I had a friend called Valentin. His parents gave him that name long time ago because he was born on 14 February. In Spain, there are still many people naming their children with the name of the saint of the day… or the day they were married, or things like that. Well… His parents could not foresee at the time the long term consequences of their choice. San Valentine was not at the time the word-wide phenomenon that it’s today.
