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.

This past Sunday, I was walking with my wife and son. A construction site. My son loves them. They were dismantling a big crane. Right next to our house. I was telling my wife… “For less than that, I shut down an entire work front on my last project.” There was a worker walking along the crane, without a harness. “He should be wearing a harness… Actually, he shouldn’t even be up there.” “Well,” my wife said, “That guy over there isn’t wearing one either, maybe they don’t need them.” “He...
If you are not going to love the answer, don’t ask. Simple. And still people… ask. I love chocolate. I make a terrific chocolate cake that is being famous in Spain, Canada and New Zealand. I pour fondant chocolate for a small army. 100%. Dark. Real. Pure chocolate. No sugar. I enjoy making this cake so much!! For my 3 year-old son’s birthday… do you think that I’m going to ask parents whether I should put 5 tablets of dark chocolate in the cake? I’d be crazy. Still, many people would ask. For...
Last Friday I almost closed a chapter. A terrible project. Lost lots of money. And of course… I’m looking now for the next. Many people out there play not to lose. But this is a losing strategy. You learn a lot when you lose. You barely know what went really well and why when you just win. It can be anything. But when you lose, you learn. Really well. You adjust. You repeat.
