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.

A “once in a generation” opportunity. Ministers on stage, cameras rolling, the usual...
A couple of days ago I was invited to a podcast. One of the questions I was asked was… “What advice you have for entrepreneurs” Or that kind of question. But the answer was instantaneous. Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
I stopped this idea of paying for an hour. It’s outdated. Consultancy as we know it is dead. But many consultants have not realized of that. Paying by the hour encourages inefficiency. It’s easy. Lazy. Change a monthly salary for monthly hours at a rate. Sounds familiar. But it’s wrong. Knowledge cannot be measure in hours. You have it. And you can present it in seconds… not hours. Some people understand this concept. It happened to me a few months ago. A post in LinkedIn about a particular...
