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.

For the last few days, I’ve been watching PAW Patrol: The Movie with my son… Several times. You know… school holidays… At this point, I could write the technical due diligence report without using my notes. An idiot becomes mayor of Adventure City. His first infrastructure idea? Put a loop in the metro line. A loop. For a train full of people. On the first trip, logically the train gets stuck upside down and everyone needs to be rescued. It seems someone forgot to calculate that a train is...

I’m going to China in a few days. Suppliers. Factories. Meetings. And plenty of opportunities to discover that what I thought I knew was wrong. Preferably before transferring any money. In big infrastructure projects, that timing matters rather a lot. Take Brisbane’s Clem7 tunnel. In April 2010, its operator announced that 1.24 million vehicle trips had been made through the tunnel during its first three weeks. Almost 59,000 a day. Lovely numbers. But meaningless… If you stopped at that...

Look at this story told to me by Muhammad Danish, a top expert in PPP... Pakistan. A road to be built. A few years ago. Inflation was running wild. Prices were changing so fast that a contractor could buy materials on Monday and regret being born by Thursday… until he discovered he could sell them for a fortune on Sunday. The government’s advisers saw the problem. If the private partner had to carry all the price escalation risk, the bids would be absurdly expensive. Or there would be no bids...
