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.

Not because of the “social commitments.” And not because of the alcohol… which, let’s be honest, doesn’t do your health any good whether it’s “only one,” “only two,” December or June. No. It’s something worse. Much worse than overeating and overdrinking. Queueing. For me, queueing is more terrifying than being forced to watch an entire season of Big Brother. Nothing good ever comes out of standing in line. Nothing. Maybe disappointment…...

A nice thing of brining my son to daycare and this being in the same building than the main NZ infrastructure agencies is that you meet lots of people. From the doors to the elevator, people having coffee, hanging out in the sofas, etc. Suddenly a “hey, Vicente”, and then… Some free consultation. Well… not as free, as the coffee is excellent, I always order one. “On me”. The usual suspects are: How can ensure competitive tension? How can I deal with claims? How can I prevent claims? How many...

I’ve been closing some insurance policies these days. For myself. Health, life, mortgage, etc. You don’t appreciate enough a good broker until you get one. If you’re serious about investing, this is your second more important broker after your mortgage broker. But I don’t want to talk to you about personal insurance. But PPP insurance. It’s probably one of those fields, most people mess up. Clients. Banks. SPVs… All parties alike. You have insurance to cover accidents on site causing...
