My last day
|
Today is my last day at NX2. Last day. 6 years as a CEO. ​ Why leaving? I needed a change. Yes, just like that. Bye, bye, big salary, big bonuses, big responsibilities working for others. Bye, bye… last day. ​ I could have added a speech about my great team, our great job, our achievements, etc… but I let those things for the people that love to talk about the weather. ​ There is a perfect time to move on, and mine was well overdue. Now, no plans. No commitments. No work. No rush. Just freedom, and many ideas in my head. Calm, and satisfaction. Even some dreams. ​ I have been building during years my financial freedom and now it’s time to taste it as good coffee. Time with my child. Time to do a few things at home. Time to walk in the park under the sun. Time to practice some kung-fu… mental and physical. ​ Look, when coffee is roasted it creates many chemical reactions. One of those reactions builds-up carbon dioxide. Good coffee comes in packages with one-way valves. They allow carbon-dioxide to escape without allowing oxygen into the package. Coffee reaches its peak in flavour from around 12-15 days after the roast date. Then, flavour goes down and coffee ages with exposure to oxygen. ​ I had the time for my chemical reactions. I matured my ideas, my experience, my businesses, and now, I feel it’s my time to build something great and big. ​ If interested, you can register your interest here. The idea is passing you my knowledge as manager, CEO and investor through small, easy, digestible lesson learned. ​I'm interested - I click here. ​ ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

A couple of days ago I was invited to a podcast. One of the questions I was asked was… “What advice you have for entrepreneurs” Or that kind of question. But the answer was instantaneous. Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
I stopped this idea of paying for an hour. It’s outdated. Consultancy as we know it is dead. But many consultants have not realized of that. Paying by the hour encourages inefficiency. It’s easy. Lazy. Change a monthly salary for monthly hours at a rate. Sounds familiar. But it’s wrong. Knowledge cannot be measure in hours. You have it. And you can present it in seconds… not hours. Some people understand this concept. It happened to me a few months ago. A post in LinkedIn about a particular...
If you have visited bars once in your life, you’ve had one of these moments… You know. That moment when someone brags at the bar drinking another gyn about a deal they “closed”? They talk and talk. And you just know they didn’t read the contract. Yeah. This is that story—except with trains. Let’s go to Sydney Airport Rail Link, late 1990s. The private consortium thought they had cracked the code: Four stations. Direct airport access. Passengers in the tens of thousands. “We’ll be printing...
