Yesterday I saw that Trump is taking the lead in the pools. That’s terrible. It’s so bad, so bad for you, for the economy and the democracy, that… It’s at least as bad as… if the other lady wins the election. Or as good as… Or as irrelevant as… If you look at any elections or any government with the hope of them changing your life, forget it… unless, of course, you want to be a slave of the system. The maximum thing that Trump winning or the other lady winning will do is changing your mood… for a few days. Just like your soccer team winning… happy days… sometimes, just hours. But imagine that you can control your mood. Better. Imagine that you can control your mindset… That’s the path to take control. That’s the path to seek promotions, to make more money, to build wealth… That’s the path to freedom. So… Cultivate your mind. Educate yourself, and you won’t depend on the circus. If you want to learn something new today, I can tell you a story. It is the story of how I became CEO of a company holding assets for more than 1 billion dollars. And before you say anything, let me add this. In life, there are two kinds of people. Those that will say that “this does apply to my case”, and those that say, “how the heck do I apply this to my case”. As I said… Cultivate your mind. Be free. The story is this week’s lesson in the membership below. Enjoy. ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ By the way... There is an AI machine that says that you may like what's below.

They wanted to save money. Of course. Because nothing says “excellent public procurement” like taking a complex, mission-critical system and pretending the cheap option is also the clever option. In 2007, the Queensland Government in Australia needed a new payroll system for Queensland Health. Not a tiny organisation. Tens of thousands of employees, multiple awards, complex rosters, allowances, overtime, penalties, shifts… The kind of payroll system that makes normal payroll systems cry in...
Let’s say you want to get in shape. You can buy a gym membership. Fine. You pay the fee. You get the little towel. You walk in pretending you know exactly what you’re doing. Then you start lifting weights like a chicken “sin cabeza”… no head. A machine here. Some dumbbells there. A bit of treadmill because you saw someone else doing it. And then you hope willpower, motivation, and the fitness gods do the rest. Good luck with that. Now, if you’re serious… Really serious… You hire a personal...
The dream accomplishment is not a promotion. Sorry. I know LinkedIn wants you crying in front of a cake with the company logo… so that you produce lots of likes. “After 17 years, I am humbled to announce…” Lovely. Very touching. Very corporate. Very LinkedIn… But no. The real dream is a WhatsApp message. “Can you jump on a call? We have a problem.” That’s it. No fireworks. No orchestra. No posts in social media with 46 hashtags. Just one message. Because someone, somewhere, in a project that...
