Tell everyone. You are doing a great job. Tell everyone, especially to your boss. Don’t wait for the annual review… too many things will happen from today until the next raise is decided.

I reduce their business to a single sentence and their problem to a couple of words. And sometimes it stings. But it always heals. And fast. I have a mentorship package. Some have asked for it. You can buy it as a gift for you, your loved one, your brother, your company, or your dog. ​Mentorship Package - $899​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

If your little boy takes her first steps, the huge look of surprise and joy on his face will infect you instantly. That’s who we are. It’s our nature. You don’t need a PPP Certificate from the World Bank to understand this. So… If you spend your life watching...
According to the market research company Harris Poll, 52% of people between 16 and 26 wish social media had never been invented. Con dos c0jones. If they are not your clients or employees or colleagues now, they will be very soon. What’s this telling you? Simple. Worry less about technology and much more about experience and understanding. Most people out there are obsessed with how to implement AI, but are incapable of empathizing with their neighbor’s human pain or joy. Don’t stress about...
I’ve never seen anybody truly making anything great just by waiting. Just by not taking action. Just by letting train after train leave the station. Tomorrow. When I finish the next free-course. Or the next certification. Or when I come back from holidays. Or when I have time “in the summer”. Or when I read “that” book. Or else. Pray and wait is a strategy for failure. Or mediocracy. Problems don’t solve magically themselves. Wishes never come true unless you move your a$$. This is true for...
