The thing I'm certain about

One day, they asked Jeff Bezos about the future. Jeff, what are the upcoming trends? How would Amazon react to them? ​ The answer worths more than an MBA in Harvard… … specially because in Harvard, they don’t teach this… ​ ​ Take a minute to read this sentence again. ​ I don’t care about what changes, but about what stays the same. ​ Empires are built on certainties. Not in “I think”, “I guess”, “My understanding is”. ​ For years, I’ve had a certainty, and I operate based on it. ​ The more you focus on what you can control, the better you live. ​ With war or without, with psychopaths in power or with fools. ​ ​ ​ I hold onto that unchanging truth and ignore the rest of the noise in the universe. ​ And since you’re not, you’re not making the progress I do. ​ Want proof? ​ You spend your day avoiding certainties to ride the waves of uncertainty. ​ Another certainty: The sooner your boss will appreciate you, will respect you, will promote you and the more money you’ll make. The sooner a client will give you his money, the more loyal he’ll be, the more satisfied he’ll be, and the more money he’ll give you over time. ​ I’m about to launch my mentorship. If interested, click here, and you’ll get a surprise. ​Click here. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

Last year, kindercare official picture, Christmas party with kids and family, strawberry picking, etc. This year, nothing. Last year, a competent person. This year, someone less so… or with less time… or with more excuses. No matter your contract. Your organization chart. Your incentives. Your whatever. People continue to be the key for success. Still companies squeeze to the bone salaries and benefits, and treat people like commodities… And honestly, they are not. At least, not yet… who...
I signed the contract on Monday. On Wednesday, I received a welcome email – I’m your personal property manager. Next day – Mail. We are talking care of connecting utilities. Later mail: Done! Next day – Mail: We are ordering the mattresses and the repairs as discussed during our meeting on the apartments. Early following week – Mail: We have listed the apartments. End of the week – Mail: We have conducted visits and we have received applications. We are doing our checks and will let you know...
Just yesterday, I had an interesting call. “What should I do if these guys are “locos”? Translated: What to do with a client that it’s not engaging? That’s a hard one. Let’s get more information: “Are they experienced?” “No” “Are they empowered?” “No” “Have they been instructed to give you nuts?” “Maybe” “Warm… Have you asked why **** is so important for them?” “No” “Warmer… Have you had recently a coffee or conversation with their bosses?” “No” “Ummm… let’s prepare an action plan” You can...
