Success is inevitable

“Raise the bar on yourself. Never settle for doing “enough.” Today’s world is competitive and moves so quickly that you will have to raise your stamina level if you expect to remain in the competition or to even get into the competition to begin with” – D. Trump Yes, he is Donald Trump. People, especially in Europe, are still wondering how he won the elections. Others observed, enjoyed, eating popcorns despite the spoiler. Even if you don’t like him, the truth is that he is right. Doing just what’s expected is the perfect receipt for failure, for the inconsequential, for remaining invisible. No trouble, but no glory. Just one number. If you are of those few that want to raise the bar. Do more. Go beyond. Study. Read. Go to a seminar. Buy a course. Find new friends that are further than you are in your way to the top. Or find a mentor... like for example, by clicking below. Only until 31 January.

Economic powerhouse region. Millions of inhabitants. Constant truck traffic. Banks were queuing to through their money to the asphalt plant. Making...
The system worked perfectly. The satellites tracked the trucks. The software calculated the tolls. The invoices were ready. The gantries were already installed across France. 173 of them. Steel structures over highways, quietly waiting for trucks to pass and pay. The project cost almost €1 billion. It was called the Écotaxe Poids Lourds. The idea was simple. Heavy trucks should pay for using the roads. Especially foreign trucks crossing France. Elegant. Who would say no to such a great idea?...
My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
