And that’s about money. But what about personal investments in personal growth? The reasons are also 3:
In both cases, they rely on free content in social media, their cousins or brothers-in-law. The result is that:
Good mentors save you years… but free content with no effort and not engagement is so easy to consume. I like things that are simple, straightforward. So, my investment system is characterized by being simple and straightforward. In both, money and personal growth… that at some point become the same. Don’t expect a sector diagram with lots of colours and 25 stocks in my portfolio. Don’t expect a collage of 25 books about personal growth, negotiation, career advancement, mindset… I’m very simple. And I think that simple is better. Simple ideas that work for everybody can be found here.

More looking. Some rumours. Someone nervously laughed… Carlos is not in the room. Not in the building. Not in the country. Where the hell is...
These days I’ve been in an amazing table. Not business guys this time, but that’s not important. The best lawyers. The best technical guys. The best commercial people in the country. Being there simply blows your mind. Their work ethics. Their commitment. Their sharp insights. I should be paying for being there… Being in those tables. With excellent people.
