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?

“What’s happening with you?” Look. You’re not going to look smart by bringing those clauses to the table during negotiations. Nobody will thank you. No one. Not your bosses. Not the advisors. Not even the client. Everyone is focused on financial close. And their bonuses. And those big pats on the back. “Why are you bothering us with that?” I know. When you have four years of construction ahead. Utilities still undefined. Properties not properly acquired. A recent landslide before signature....
In today’s world, we are surrounded by information. By tips. You ask ChatGPT for ways to… Let’s say. Improve communication. Yes, remember: communication skills are probably the skill you need to be working on right now. Well… ChatGPT takes information from thousands of blogs. Unrelated to you. You feel overwhelmed. And you do nothing. You stay exactly where you were. That’s today’s world. We have access to information and knowledge. But we don’t use it. We look for the next tip. And the next....
It’s not sexy, I reckon. It’s never at the parties. Never. All the attention goes to financial close, the construction programme, the liquidated damages, the change regime, the events, the refinancing… And then there is this thing. Almost forgotten. Nobody sees it. Nobody talks about it. Until one day you get the perfect image of a train, lights on, coming out of the dark… And the poor rabbit standing in the middle of the tracks.
