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...

Time for a ridiculous story from the world of infrastructure contracts. You know, those multi-billion-dollar deals where one tiny typo can turn into a legendary office joke. Well… here you are one. Picture this. Somewhere in Europe. A massive bridge project. The contract is huge, hundreds of pages of legal and technical jargon. In the middle of all that, there was supposed to be a clause that said the contractor had to provide a "large-tonnage crane." Don’t ask why. Maybe some stupid Spanish...
I receive their email religiously every week. They fabricate and install curtains. You don’t expect to be renewing those things every week. Nor every year. But here they are, sending those emails weekly. On the other hand, I tried to look for 15 min for the guys that do the shampooing of my carpet. That’s something that you should be doing twice or so a year. Not an email. And still… is there anything more recurrent / certain? Probably yes, but it’s Sunday and I have the brain focused on...
A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from an agent. Vicente, I have this house for you, and you should take a look. I receive the link. I take a look. The ratio rooms: people was 2:1 and I counted the cat as one. “Too big for us”. “Too big? But you can afford it” “That may be true, but it’s too big, we don’t need that space”. The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects. If you thought that the decision...
