The 3 types of problems
|
I have a few face-to-face mentees and they have 3 types of problems: ​ You say you became an entrepreneur to be free… but you work more hours than ever. ​ I’m sure it also sounds familiar to you. ​ ​ ​ And there you are, chasing the carrot… as if the problem were that you’re not trying hard enough. ​ ​ Less noise. Less pretending. ​ It’s like wealth… You concentrate, then you diversify… if you want. ​ But focus comes first. No focus. No freedom. ​ Remember Pareto… 20% of tasks produces 80% of results… ​ And many would say… yeah… but the other 80% of task must also be done! Really??? Sure??? ​ In PPPs, for example, there are just a few concepts that make projects successful. Just a few. No matter the complexity of the project. ​ If you don’t believe me, you should take a look to the links below.

It won’t end well… They’ll be...
This last week Panama had many holidays. It the Patriots Week or Fiestas de la Patria… let me have some flexibility with the translation. Everything is closed. Everyone is “taken a rest”. But as I often say… growth (in money and personal growth) comes in your free time. While others go to the beach. I optimize my marketing campaigns and answer quickly during the moments that people spend more time on their phones. No judgement here. It’s what it is. We have a few houses to sell there, and...
When you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you lose the touch with the rest of the world. But some marketing emails I have not unsubscribed yet, reminded me this week that winter was coming in the North. Black Friday stuff. Black Friday… In the past, I used Black Friday to buy some Christmas presents… I must admit it. Things have changed. A lot. Just a few news.
