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. Do you want to learn about something new?

I hope you had not been in one of those… A meeting with a Power Point. Around 130 slides… Yes. One. Hundred. Thirty. Graphs. Tables. Appendices explaining the appendices. The speaker? Monotone. Boring. Like a GPS giving directions in the desert. A funeral seemed a fiesta in Ibiza. Slide 14… Slide 38… Slide 79… Around slide 92 something magical happened. One of the client directors fell asleep. Not metaphorically. Actually asleep. Head tilted. Eyes closed. The kind of sleep that says: “I’ve...
How you do anything is how you do everything. Leave something half-done or poorly executed and people assume the rest of your work looks exactly the same. Maybe that’s unfair.Maybe it’s not true. Doesn’t matter. That’s the perception on the other side of the table. If you don’t show leadership in a simple information meeting, why would anyone trust you to lead when the deal gets complicated? If you perform poorly once, what are the chances the other side believes the next time will be...
Everything you want is on the opposite side of fear. Let’s pause for a minute and let these words sink. I’m in the middle of a complex transaction for my real estate businesses… and those words couldn’t resonate more in me. Those feelings tell me that I’m on the right path. I’m getting out of my comfort zone, and this is great. There is nothing positive in the comfort of your couch. I can’t tell you this. If you don’t feel those butterflies in your stomach.
