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...

Arguments, unfortunately, don’t work. It’s proven. People don’t change their beliefs. At least, not with arguments. The reason arguments do not work is that most people hold their ideas and values without thinking about them. Think of politics. Think of clauses that you’ve seen in contracts. Think of people supporting their favourite teams. There is a strong emotional content in their beliefs. They really do not want to have to rework their habits of thinking, and when you challenge them,...
Impossible. Nobody can be that stupid. Well… welcome to another day. A contractor (let’s call him Mr. Optimism) decided to “save time” on a warehouse project. How? By installing the roof before securing the steel structure with the final bolts. “Don’t worry, jefe, it holds by itself.” Famous last words of every construction project ever. The weather app showed light breeze. New Zealand showed: “Hold my beer.” A 45-km/h gust arrived, grabbed the entire roof like a giant frisbee, and sent it...
In a meeting with an agency not long time ago, I was asked for advice with regards to the team they’ll need to set up for managing a PPP project. Obviously, our conversation started by a “are you kidding me”? Managing multibillion dollar projects required people able to handle multibillion dollar projects. That’s the basics. If you bring to your team people used to manage projects in the range of 10 millions… the focus is not going to be on the right things. The nickelling and diamonding...
