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. Do you want to learn about something new?

Knowing is not enough. Working is not enough. Probably, you already know that… or maybe not. After many years of being a CEO, I tell you what works. You need to be seen knowing and working. That’s it. Being nice gets you accommodation. People will like having you around. They may even thank you. But being useful, visible and difficult to overlook is what makes you progress. This doesn’t mean shouting louder than everyone else. It means making your contribution impossible to misunderstand....
Millions of people gathered around the same event. Millions of people with something in common. A couple of weeks have passed, but I’m Spanish, so I remember it well… even if Messi wants to forget. Around 3 hours. People had no time to go to the gym. No time to read a book. No time to study. No time to start that business idea. No time to cook before leaving home. Look, that’s perfectly fine. But… Next time you don’t do something, don’t say it’s because you don’t have time. Say it isn’t a...
Most people do not fail in negotiations. They simply aim too low. They enter the room hoping to: Reduce the increase. Limit the damage. Get something back. Avoid an argument. And then they celebrate a mediocre result because it was slightly better than the worst-case scenario. Perfect. If you’ve never felt that feeling… congrats. You’re probably never negotiated anything meaningful. For the rest… let me tell you that was my day to day. Every meeting. Clients, subbies, employees. Many years to...
