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.

Codie Sanchez once explained that “If you want to know where future fortunes will be made, don’t look at markets; look at rooms” And she continued: “Wealth follows proximity. The closer you are to capital, information, and ambition, the higher your expected return. If compounding is the eighth wonder of the world, proximity is the ninth.” This is probably the best piece of advice I have received in the last 12 months. Economists call it agglomeration, the phenomenon where productivity and...
A couple of weeks ago, someone that I know commented this: “Vicente, I’m sick to death of my job… every Monday I feel like jumping out the window. And what it’s worse… now they want to reduce staff and I don’t know what to do” She wasn’t exaggerating. And from what I understood, it wasn’t the first time she’d said — or thought — something like that. And surely not the last. Built-up exhaustion. Unpaid overtime. A boss who confuses “leading” with being a pain in the ass. And a salary that...
I once read that in one TV show a liberal made a proposal to a communist. “Let’s split the world in two. You keep whatever you want, but let’s separate. You do what you have to do, and we’ll do what we have to do. Then, after ten years, let’s see where each of us stands.” Speechless. Wonderful, isn’t it? Because of these TV shows, it’s been more than 15 years that I don’t have a TV at home. Because, there’s something even more wonderful. And that the “liberal” or the “communist” did not see....
