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…

We don’t like to admit this. Because it sounds weak. Because it sounds like we don’t fully control our destiny. Because we prefer to believe we are lone wolves, alpha beasts, independent thinkers, and all that LinkedIn testosterone poetry. Sorry… but I have to tell you. Your performance is heavily influenced by the expectations of the people around you. Psychologists call it the Pygmalion effect. Simple idea. If people expect little from you… You often deliver little. If people expect more...

A guy once told me a story. A friend of his used to do business with an architect. And in this architect’s office there was a brick. Not a sculpture. Not a model. Not some sophisticated architectural piece made with sustainable Nordic clay blessed by monks. A brick. A normal brick. But the brick was sitting on a rotating platform. With a spotlight pointing at it. Very serious. Like the bloody thing was the Mona Lisa. So one day the guy asked: “Why the hell do you have a brick spinning under a...

$10 million companies are not built on $10 tasks. Read this again. Let it sink. I told something like that once to my brother when we were expanding our real estate company in Panama. Because when you grow, something funny happens. You say you want a bigger business. More sales. More projects. More money. More freedom. And then you spend your day doing things someone else could do. Answering small messages. Chasing tiny problems. Fixing details. Moving papers. Checking things that do not move...
