The reason you need a team
|
I have two cats. And I keep a phone to call a vet in case of emergency. Many people do this too. I have the phone of an electrician, a plumber, a dentist, a doctor… to call in case of emergency. Many people do this too. I have the phone of the insurance and the AA for car assistance with me. Many people do this too. I have the phone of a lawyer to call in case of emergency. Some people do this too. I have the phone of someone to call in case of emergency for investments and financial doubts or issues. Few people have this. Why? Don’t tell me that money is not important. Or you don’t care. Just stop working and see what happens… Having mentors and advisors, a list of trusted and knowledgeable contacts, standing by is what makes the difference between successful people and people that struggle or make little or no progress. Or do you think that Elon knows about everything? Or Bezitos? Or Gates? Or… whatever. People trying to do things by themselves don’t reach very far. People teaming with knowledgeable people do. “Ahà lo dejo” or “I leave it there”. If you want me as part of your team, book me below.

No doubt, brilliant marketing campaign. If you already discover the trick around Santa and the Three Wise Men, you probably know that...
Last year, talking with a big guy in a big company, he showed me their offices. “Look at all the meetings,” he said. “They’re working hard.” As a consultant now, I’m always curious and put into test what I’ve learned the hard way through the years. And let me tell you some data. Studies show that the average employee is only truly productive for about 60% of the workday. In office jobs that translates to roughly 2 hours and 53 minutes of focused work out of 8 hours. Same hours. Much less real...
Too many products. Too many versions. Too much confusion. And the CEO comes back. He walks into a product meeting. Engineers proud. Slides prepared. Roadmaps built. He listens. And listens. And listens. Then he walks to the whiteboard. Draws a simple 2x2 grid. Consumer / Pro. Desktop / Portable. “That’s it,” he says. Everything else? Gone. Not optimized. Not restructured. Killed. In one meeting, he cut roughly 70% of the product line. Imagine the room. Years of work. Teams built around those...
