The secret to unlimited ideas


There is one thing you need to do to have unlimited ideas.

Simple. Easy.

But it requires discipline and open mind.

Observe.

That’s it.

Look, Jane Goodall was a lady with no formal education. She just loved animals.

In 1960, she went with Louis Leakey, an anthropologist to Tanzania, to give him a hand.

They studied chimpanzees’ behaviour.

Not much equipment, no laboratory, no guidance. Just a notebook and a pair of binoculars.

For a long time, she couldn’t get close to them, but her perseverance paid off.

Slowly, she noticed details no one had documented.

She observed behaviours that shattered long-standing beliefs, such as chimpanzees using tools, previously thought to be an exclusively human trait.

Patience and the power of observation simply revolutionized wildlife research and our understanding and views of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Just by looking.

Just by observing with the intention to learn.

This is why I love to be surrounded by successful people making business.

I take my popcorns and enjoy.

I observe. I learn.

Then, I even try the things that I learned.

You can save years by doing that yourself.

Observing with the intention to learn.

Observing people’s behaviours, observing trends, observing investors, observing businesspeople.

With open mind, without judging. Just observing.

Then, geeks like me put those things into practice…

The Spanish did not conquer Peru only with steel, horses, and ambition. They also arrived with something much more powerful. Lessons learned. Before Peru, there was Mexico. Before Pizarro, there was Cortés. Before Atahualpa, there was Moctezuma. The Spanish had already seen what worked. They had seen how alliances with local enemies could change the entire game. They had seen how psychological pressure could be more powerful than numbers. They had seen how confusion, speed, diplomacy,...

If your team spends more time on format than content… Your company… Your project… Your leadership… Has a problem. A big one. “Not professional.” “Not following the brand guidelines.” “My boss will not approve it.” “My client will not approve it.” Trust me. A well-written, well-structured memo in a blank Word document with no logo can do maravillas. The fanciest PowerPoint with no substance only does one thing: It extends useless meetings at a rate of 6 minutes per slide. Minimum. The excuses...

I haven’t been involved in disputes or claims lately. I gave that up. Entirely. The reason? Nobody wins. No matter how well you do it, one side ends up unhappy. Sometimes both. And unhappy endings are not my cup of tea. I prefer to focus on preventing misunderstandings, disputes, and nasty claims before they happen. Because it is possible. It is feasible.
