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?

Tony Robbins made a point that stayed with me. When you believe something won’t work, you barely try. Then the results disappoint. And you say: “See? I knew it.” Congratulations. You have successfully proved a theory you barely tested. We do this with businesses. Careers. Difficult projects. “I’m not ready for that role.” “They would never hire us.” “This team will never change.” Sometimes we call it experience. Sometimes it’s fear wearing a very respectable suit. And yes, in infrastructure,...
Yesterday, I paid my house insurance again. The house is still standing. Nothing burned down. Another year of terrible returns. I should complain. Which brings me to New Zealand’s proposed LNG import facility. Interesting project… So, of course… Everyone has an opinion. Too expensive. Ridiculous. Essential. A disaster. And that’s before anyone opens the spreadsheet. Here is how I look at projects like this one. An insurance policy. Domestic gas supplies are declining. When the hydro lakes run...
I spent two weeks without WhatsApp. Not a digital detox. Life made the decision for me. As a business owner, consultant, investor, and someone with hundreds of friends all over the world… I was uncomfortable. When I finally opened it, I had around 2,600 unread messages. Honestly, I was surprised there were so few. But the bigger surprise? Nothing terrible had happened. A humbling discovery. Apparently, the universe had continued operating without my blue ticks. Things stayed under control....
