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.

Middle of a tender. PPP project. Pressure everywhere. The client wants the best offer. The lenders want certainty. The SPV wants bankability. The construction company wants protection. The bid team wants sleep. The bid manager wants to make it until the 5 days snap holidays in Cuba starting the day after the submission. Somewhere in the middle of that beautiful circus, the SPV and the construction company start negotiating the construction contract. The contract that will sit behind the...

Think about an event. I don’t know. A political one. Mr Trump visiting Mr Xi in China. Same event. Same date. Some newspapers will say Trump is brilliant. Others will say Trump went there to drop his pants, beg, and give Xi everything he asked for. Same event. Same dates. Different newspapers. The difference? Different points of view. And different agendas. Oh, surprise. Now you know why the client, if you are on the other side of the table, doesn’t have much sympathy for you and thinks you...

Not exactly “gold plating” in the luxury sense. Worse. Engineering gold plating. They didn’t want a baggage system. That would have been what they needed, but too boring. Too normal. Too “let’s move suitcases from A to B without humiliating ourselves in front of the entire planet.” No. Denver International Airport wanted something better. A fully automated baggage system. Airport-wide. High-speed. Radio-controlled carts. Miles of track. Computers deciding where every bag should go. Basically,...
