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. ​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 instead of 20 years of experience… They have 1 year of experience repeated 20 times. Shocking? Really? Because, it shouldn’t be. This is the norm. Think of... Engineering....
Yesterday, a student told me:“ You’re selling this for peanuts.” He’s right. I know it. But when something is working… when things are flowing… You don’t touch it. At least, that’s what they say. But here’s the problem: Underpricing is not generosity. It’s positioning. And I’m done positioning this as cheap. So yes…I’m breaking the rule. I’m increasing the price of everything in the academy. All of it. Today, you can still get in at the current price. Tomorrow? You’ll pay double. For example,...
It was under control. Of course it was. April 15, 2019. Semana Santa, aka, Easter… again. The most iconic cathedral in Europe. Notre-Dame Cathedral Under renovation. Experts on site. Protocols in place. And then… Fire. Not a small one. Not, it was not a “candela”… but a catastrophic one. The roof gone. The spire collapsing in front of the world. Millions watching it live… with popcorns. Oups… This was not an abandoned building. This was not chaos. This was a controlled environment. Or at...
