I’ve met a few these last weeks… so I can deduct that the world is full of who dream of quitting their job and become entrepreneurs, running their own business, running investments, living somewhere else or taking more control of their lives. The problem is that their dream is just a dream. It’s a question of priorities. A question of courage. ​ I was not very courageous, I must confess. ​ This is why I decided to act with the two feet on the ground. ​ All started with side businesses. All failed. ​ Then one real estate business… I failed, and lost lots of money. But I learned a lot. I didn’t give up. I kept trying and learning. ​ Then, a second real estate business. It started well… then problems, more problems… But I keep learning and trying. ​ Then, a consultancy business… Then, a newsletter. Then, coaching business… ​ And so on. Learning. Adjusting. Reviewing. Adjusting. Doubling down in what it works. Consistently. ​ In personal growth and, even business, you only lose when you give up. When you see your setbacks as learning experiences, you live more relaxed, and you sleep better despite the complexities and anxieties… The journey is what is important, not the destination. This is why, I keep going. ​ Mentors and coaches are an important part of that journey. Do it alone because you know it all… won’t get you into your full potential. ​ I have a proposal for you today. You can get it below.

Last week, I got quite sick. Small children. Viruses. Usual suspects. My body wanted bed, and this is what I did… But… I could have been watching Netflix. Or worse… The TV… If I knew how to get the channels. Instead, I completed a couple of courses I had bought and were still pending. Perfect reset. New ideas. One of these courses is by Matt Gray. And I loved what he said about obsession. Anyone that has achieved a decent level of success in life has some sort of obsession. You can think of...
One of the “interesting” things about having sat at all four corners of the table, and having done so in several countries, is that you start comparing. Yes, I know. It’s a Spanish sickness. We like criticising more than we like evading taxes… or voting for politicians who do. I can’t escape my genes, no matter how a Kiwi I've become. You compare. And sooner or later, you reach a painful conclusion. Especially now that I live in the paradise of the South Pacific. Nations led by builders build...
Suggesting beats showing. Always. Just see what happens to women that show too much. They attract the wrong type of men… or probably not. They just attract all men… and then, it’s more complicated to do a good selection. The chances of getting it wrong increase. But if they just suggest, they tend to attract a more sophisticated level of men. Less brutal, savage, and basic. Then, the chances of getting the wrong type of men decrease. And remember, women risked their lives having s€x not long...
