It's the environment, stupid!


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.

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...
