The reason why you need to move your culo


Attitude is everything.

Stay around with people depressed that criticizes all is happening around (Trump, tariffs, war, Putin, oil, bitcoin), and you’ll be depressed too.

Optimism is a powerful weapon.

I’d say that stay away of people that don’t share optimism and see opportunities everywhere.

Instead of “that won’t work”, think of and stay around with people with a “how do I apply that” mindset.

The key to success is knowing how to stay motivated in the face of barriers, stops, and things not going quite the way you’d hoped or planned.

And for that, you need attitude.

There is a secret though.

How to keep motivated.

And it’s simpler than you think.

The number one way for me to stay motivated is to stay busy moving quickly from one activity to the next without a lot of time in between.

That’s it.

Then, you’ll need to stay busy doing the right things, those that truly produces results, those that you “don’t feel like” to do… those ones, precisely, are the ones that you need to do inmediately.

Calling a client. Going to a fair and meet more people. Visiting 100 apartments. Sending 25 bids…

The reality is if you are moving fast enough, it won’t matter because you are going to the next activity.

My motivation, and yours, comes from my attention on the future, not from something done in the past.

Stay motivated.

Stay aware.

Stay busy doing the right things.

Grow.

Move your culo and get things done.

They wanted to save money. Of course. Because nothing says “excellent public procurement” like taking a complex, mission-critical system and pretending the cheap option is also the clever option. In 2007, the Queensland Government in Australia needed a new payroll system for Queensland Health. Not a tiny organisation. Tens of thousands of employees, multiple awards, complex rosters, allowances, overtime, penalties, shifts… The kind of payroll system that makes normal payroll systems cry in...

Let’s say you want to get in shape. You can buy a gym membership. Fine. You pay the fee. You get the little towel. You walk in pretending you know exactly what you’re doing. Then you start lifting weights like a chicken “sin cabeza”… no head. A machine here. Some dumbbells there. A bit of treadmill because you saw someone else doing it. And then you hope willpower, motivation, and the fitness gods do the rest. Good luck with that. Now, if you’re serious… Really serious… You hire a personal...

The dream accomplishment is not a promotion. Sorry. I know LinkedIn wants you crying in front of a cake with the company logo… so that you produce lots of likes. “After 17 years, I am humbled to announce…” Lovely. Very touching. Very corporate. Very LinkedIn… But no. The real dream is a WhatsApp message. “Can you jump on a call? We have a problem.” That’s it. No fireworks. No orchestra. No posts in social media with 46 hashtags. Just one message. Because someone, somewhere, in a project that...
