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. Where some find an excuse, others find a reason. There are people achieving more with less effort. The only thing separating you is what each person knows and how they put it into practice, nothing more. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

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...
Middle of a tender. PPP project. Pressure everywhere. The client wants the best offer. The lenders want certainty. The SPV wants bankability. The construction company wants protection. The bid team wants sleep. The bid manager wants to make it until the 5 days snap holidays in Cuba starting the day after the submission. Somewhere in the middle of that beautiful circus, the SPV and the construction company start negotiating the construction contract. The contract that will sit behind the...
