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.

Twenty years in the market. Dozens of transactions. Deep sector knowledge. Blah, blah, blah… Everyone says they are experienced… until you ask the question. “How much will it cost?” The answer: “It depends.” If you have seen this before you continue to dig in and you’ll see these answers: “We’ll charge based on time incurred.” “We can give you an estimate, but it won’t be binding.” I get it… I’ve been there. Partners. Directors. Senior managers. Managers. Analysts. Look. Everyone is...

I understand. Saving public money does not put a politician on TV. It is much better to announce that you are spending $1 billion. A new road. A new bridge. Some magnificent piece of infrastructure. Probably unnecessary. Possibly in a small town. But located in a very interesting constituency if you want to be re-elected. I get it. Avoiding the need to build infrastructure is even worse. You risk being called: “Cheap.” “Short-sighted.” “Not committed to your voters.” I get that too. The...

In 2014. France. A true and very well documented story. The government ordered a new generation of regional trains. Beautiful trains. Modern. More comfortable. Not the smelly crap that they had when I studied in Paris… Nah… €15 billion of good trains. But someone forgot a small detail… The trains did not fit in many of the stations. You can think that those should be the basis… But no… Small details… Why bothering when we’re buying 15 billion of these things… The result? Around 1,300 platform...
