Phones, tablets, robots… Every skill you have today and that you believe is marketable won't be in a few short years. These will be some skills though that will remain in extreme demand for a decade or so. AI engineers. Why? Because somebody needs to deploy the wonderful alien technology we've discovered - to increase automation of every company and organization. Some will become millionaires, and billionaires. Most will be employees. I saw the trend 25 years ago with communications. Great jobs, great opportunities to create your companies… Now, telecom engineers are pure commodity. This cycle happens all the time. This is why getting just a new diploma, a new degree, a new certificate, won’t save you. It’s not a waste of time or money, no. I’m not saying that. It’s always good to learn new things. It is just that despite those new learnings and trends, there is one, and one only that keeps you going on. Not for the next decade, but many more year. Your personal growth. Control on your career, on your business, on your money. It took me a long, long time to realize that it’s not knowledge, but communication. It’s not studying, but action. It’s not perfectionism, but learning from mistakes. It’s not a pay check, but a stream of revenues that will keep you in the right track when retirement time arrives. Last day at this price.

There are two kinds of people. The complainers. And the people who have no time to complain. A few years ago, I became one of the founders of a start-up in Panama. Camarounds. Think of it as an Uber for services. Electricians. Technicians. Bricklayers. Plumbers. Maintenance people. The kind of people you need when something breaks and suddenly your life becomes a small Latin American tragedy. Yes. I like exploring. I like investing. I like trying things. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it...
Some people keep asking for a manual. A framework. A checklist. A step-by-step guide. A beautiful PDF with arrows, diagrams, acronyms, and the comforting illusion that if they follow it properly, nothing bad will happen. Let me tell you something that may hurt a little. Or a lot… depending on how many checklists and guides you’re collecting and keeping unread somewhere in your laptop or phone… People who are obsessed with manuals are often not looking for knowledge. They are looking for...
Look at the difference: Saying “it’s about intelligence” feels much harder than saying “it’s about learning something.” Saying “it’s about discipline” feels very different from saying “it’s about giving it more time.” Saying “it’s about luck” is one movie. Saying “it’s about trying as many times as necessary” is a completely different one. Different versions, of the same thing: “I won’t be able to do it.” vs “I’m not able to do it yet.” “My client is not like that.” vs “My current client is...
