Quien no llora, no mama
|
I have 4 airbnb apartments in Auckland. 3 perfoming well. 1 slagging. ​ Quien no llora no mama or who does not cry, he is not breastfeed, or less literally, if you don't cry, you don't get fed. ​ I sent an email. What’s going on? I’m disappointed. What I can do to help. ​ In 48 hours or less, the calendar in the slagging apartment is full. ​ No response, just facts. Like magic… back on track. ​ This situation is not unusual. In my 20 years managing projects and people, I’ve seen this almost every day. People don’t speak up. They assume. They guess. They believe. Not my monkeys. Not my problem. ​ But that’s terribly wrong. ​ If you don’t speak up, relationships deteriorate fast. Money disappear through the lawyers’ toilet, or the arbitrator’s or the consutants’. Progress stalls. Disaster is inevitable. ​ Unbankable projects get financed with less than that. No hard question. Let’s not bother the other side. They’ll get upset. And while you’re pissing in your pants, things are getting worse and worse. ​ Speaking up. Being clear and assertive. Protecting what’s yours. Defending your position. Those are skills that no AI bot will do for you. And still they bring you to the riches. ​ Stop protecting yourself behind the soft message, the soft email, the WhatsApp, the soft LinkedIn message… and start living and winning. ​ You’ll find a few ideas in the link below. ​More than just PPPs​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day. PD 2: If somebody has sent you this email and you want to receive emails like this yourself, visit vicentevalencia.com PD 3: If you want unsubscribe, click the link below. ​ ​ |

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....
