The system is robbing you... for your protection
|
I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. ​ The problem starts when you begin asking questions: Well… When you start asking those kinds of questions, you begin to see the world differently. Because the day you understand how money works, you stop swallowing the nonsense they’ve been selling you. You stop believing the lie that says, “Go to university, study, and you’ll get a good job.” Instead, you start moving. You start doing things. You start taking control of your money (and your life). And suddenly, you realize something huge: The power was never in them. Yes, in you. To stop depending. To take control. To stop being just the one who foots the bill. To start playing to win. Losing? No. And your first step could start right here. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment? - Price $29.90​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

People wearing trousers two sizes bigger than necessary… Not even Lululemon, by the way. Queueing for 15 minutes at McDonald’s. The intense smell of fries and KFC… I got it very quickly. I don’t belong here. I don’t want to be here. When was the last time you felt that way? Knowing you could be somewhere else, but instead you had just walked into another room smelling of...
Politics is a pain in the a$$. But you can hardly avoid it. It is hard to be brave all the time. It is hard to tell every person throwing bullsh*t into the room that they are wrong. It is also tiring. And sometimes, it can backfire. Badly. It can put you in a difficult position. And it can put the people behind you in a difficult position too. So yes. Sometimes, at high tables, you need to swallow. You need to let something pass… Let them, as Mel Robbins would say. You need to smile when you...
A few days ago, Monge Malo, the best sales trainer in Spanish language talked about The Abilene Parados. The Abilene Paradox happens when a group of people does something nobody actually wants to do because everyone assumes the others want it. Like Christmas dinners. Or most corporate meetings. Twelve adults in a room. Nobody agrees. Nobody believes the plan. Nobody thinks the process makes sense. But everyone nods. The junior person thinks the senior people know better. The senior person...
