This is the most significant factor in your success
|
People think that it is what they study. Others the wife or husband or partner that they choose. Others the first company they work for. But no. Studies show this over and over. The most important decision in your life is city you decide to live in. This defines what wife or husband you can have, where you’re going to work, the salary range, the tax system, the business opportunities, your potential growth as professional or businessman, etc. There are people so aware of this fact that change cities after a max of 5 years. If you are feeling now, that “joder” I should have known earlier. Don’t do that. There are opportunities everywhere, big enough to satisfy your most untellable wet dreams. And with this I go a common theme. Excuses. Excuses to not calling now, not sending the email now, not sending the resignation letter now, not telling this or that to your boss now, not buying that business or piece of real estate right now. Excuses that keep you in the comfortable place that you hate in silence or screaming. Both are terrible. Not sure that the link below will be useful to change that… But, at least, if you don’t think about changing your city right now, it may be a good start. ​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.

I get it. I’ve been CEO. I know what ego feels like. That urge to change things. To leave your mark. To justify the big salary. I get it. But changing things that already work? Just to prove you exist? No. That I don’t get. Look. I’ve been speaking with people across PPP and Real Estate. Different countries. Same story. “Like beheaded chickens.” Clients changing direction mid-procurement. Swapping teams halfway through. Rewriting strategy… in the middle of a transaction. Yes. That bad. Even...
Most consultants are expensive spectators. Nice slides.Clean Excel models.Zero impact. They show up.They talk.They disappear. And the project?Still stuck. In the mouse wheel… running but still in the same place. It may be the perverse incentive of maximizing gains by increasing scope and delaying everything… although that’s for another days. Look… In big projects, nobody pays you for your time.They pay you for one thing: Movement. Decisions made.Problems killed.Risks reduced.Money saved....
This is a nice week for me. Birthday and week of great decisions. Decisions on my businesses. Decisions on my investments. Important ones. You see… I feel butterflies in my stomach. Fear. Doubts. So, I know perfectly well that I’m growing. I’m making progress. Look. Matt Gray, someone you should follow on LinkedIn – it’s free and you’ll learn a lot from him – said the other day that your circle establishes your ceiling. Your boss. Your friends. Your business partners. Your colleagues. Etc....
