Something to do not tomorrow, but today


“When I have money” is the biggest lie that I hear.

“When I have money” is the biggest lie you tell yourself.

“When I have money” is the self-impose mantra to keep you poor.

You don’t need money to start investing or start a business.

You know that.

Don’t try to convince you otherwise.

Just google “how to” and you’ll get a few ideas.

They many not work for you, or this is what you think, that there is for sure something that you can figure out… if you want to, of course.

This way of creating a self-defeating mindset is not unique to investment or money.

I hear it in many forms.

“When I have more experience”.

“When the new position comes up, I’ll step up”

“When I finish this project”

“When I demonstrate to my boss that…”

“When the interest rates are down…”

“When the market is more stable”

“When the market goes down”

“When I finish this business book”

“When I finish this course”

“When I finish my MBA”

Etc.

Or my favourite: “When I’m ready”

All excuses for inaction.

You and your children’s future will be determined by choices you make today, not tomorrow.

Think of what you could do not today, but now in improve your income, your stills, your pension fund… whatever it’s a true priority for yourself, and just do it.

I can propose you this today.

A guy once told me a story. A friend of his used to do business with an architect. And in this architect’s office there was a brick. Not a sculpture. Not a model. Not some sophisticated architectural piece made with sustainable Nordic clay blessed by monks. A brick. A normal brick. But the brick was sitting on a rotating platform. With a spotlight pointing at it. Very serious. Like the bloody thing was the Mona Lisa. So one day the guy asked: “Why the hell do you have a brick spinning under a...

$10 million companies are not built on $10 tasks. Read this again. Let it sink. I told something like that once to my brother when we were expanding our real estate company in Panama. Because when you grow, something funny happens. You say you want a bigger business. More sales. More projects. More money. More freedom. And then you spend your day doing things someone else could do. Answering small messages. Chasing tiny problems. Fixing details. Moving papers. Checking things that do not move...

Middle of a tender. PPP project. Pressure everywhere. The client wants the best offer. The lenders want certainty. The SPV wants bankability. The construction company wants protection. The bid team wants sleep. The bid manager wants to make it until the 5 days snap holidays in Cuba starting the day after the submission. Somewhere in the middle of that beautiful circus, the SPV and the construction company start negotiating the construction contract. The contract that will sit behind the...
