The same thing that discourages some motivates others. Another person’s well-being, their neighbor’s prosperity. A car, a house, a trip. Some feel attacked by this; others feel motivated.

The second group believes by default; they don’t consider it might be a lie because they know that when you believe something is achievable, you end up seeing the path to achieve it.

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...
Yesterday at 23:59, the price of the two Hand-Back Requirements courses almost doubled. As announced. As promised. As warned. So if you bought them yesterday, congratulations. You acted like an adult. Rare. If you didn’t… Maybe you were busy. Maybe you had to feed your fish. Maybe your dog needed emotional support.
