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.

Once, a government decided to build an airport for the future. Not for the demand it had. For the future. Montréal’s existing airport was becoming busy, and passenger numbers were growing rapidly. You know… Expo, Olympic Games… So Canada did what governments are often tempted to do. It thought big. Very big. The new Montréal–Mirabel Airport was intended to become one of the largest airports in the world. I repeat. In the world. The government expropriated approximately 400km2 of land… larger...

A client once asked me: What does good governance actually look like? I did not take long to draft a response. It’s something asked many times… Especially, when things start to get wrong. Well, it starts with experienced people. Period. And… People who bring different perspectives. People capable of overseeing an executive team without trying to become the executive team. Look. Governance is not day-to-day management. It is challenge. Support. Direction. And intervention when required....

Those who know me well know that I’m not a football fan. Or soccer. Whatever you prefer. But I watched the last ten minutes of Spain’s match—my only ten minutes of the World Cup… yes, I know—and I was amazed. And happy, by the way. Beating Argentina is always fun. Especially after their famous “Devolvé la copa” a few years ago… But that’s not the point. The point is that, within five minutes, the internet was full of memes. Messi crying like a baby. Lamine Yamal—or Yamil, Yamile… you know I’m...
