Projects and life have a lot in common
|
When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. Failures focus on hating. Failures assume malice. Failures obsess over what they don’t like. Successful people always find a reason to go further. And the explanation is simple: Because slavery takes away the heaviest burden in the universe: responsibility. That’s why even when a slave escapes and accidentally makes money, they immediately search for something new to enslave themselves to: meetings, commitments, micro-management. Look… This is simple. That’s the first thing I’d do if I were living in slavery. The third? Learn. Want more. Yes. I talk about life. Your life. My life. And projects. PPP projects. Any kind of project. Don’t pass the hot potato. Assume your responsibility. Learn. Thrive. People still believe that to learn you need to suffer. But no. It’s more simpler than that. Lessons about life and projects below.

I go to my netWORK to increase my Net Worth.” You need to improve your network to increase your Net Worth. It’s not just about the...
Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. I’ve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old… People will listen....
Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business? Bet on yourself. Hiring your first employee? Bet on yourself. There is one thing I have learnt about big decisions. It’s always simpler than you think. Before you change your company and country, it feels scary, and risky. After you do, you wonder why you waited so long. Before you start your...
