If you are part or play around of the sect of the majority, you hear words like these: “Keep your feet on the ground." The followers of the majority even well-intentioned try to put you down and bring you into the sect. “Keep your feet on the ground." Your parents, your teachers, your bosses, your colleagues, your friends, and in-laws: “Keep your feet on the ground." They forget the “come to us” and become a zombie as we are. Look. To make an omelette, you need to break some eggs. I don’t know many cases of people that followed the majority and got anywhere interesting or great. And if they are, there you are the exceptions to the rule. ​ You have to expose yourself. You have to try new things. Do, do and do. You have to train. You have to read and write and speak, after you listen – not before. Simply, if you do the opposite of what the sect says, you win. ​ ​ It works. As Isra Bravo says: Feet shouldn’t be on the ground; they should be in the sky. ​ On what ground? ​ ​ Don’t be afraid. Take a look what you can achieve, for example, playing with real estate.

Steel structures over highways, quietly waiting for trucks to pass and pay. The project cost almost €1 billion. It was called the Écotaxe Poids Lourds. The idea was simple. Heavy trucks should pay for using the roads. Especially foreign trucks crossing France. Elegant. Who would say no to such a great idea?...
My wife had been unsuccessful for a while. She tried three times. Her ads expired those three times. $75 the higher bid. She wanted at least 100$ for an almost new bike that our son used 5-10 times max. She published the ads with 100$. The price new: 160$. She told me. I listened. Shall I call the buyer that offered me 75$? No, I said. Increase the price to $120 in the ad. Seriously? But new it’s 160 and this one is almost 2 years old. 120$, go, try. 24 hours later… Sold, 100$. WOW! My...
Alfred Hitchcock had a peculiar habit. He appeared for a few seconds in almost every one of his films. At first it was a joke. Then it became a problem. Audiences started watching the screen obsessively, trying to spot him. They were no longer following the story. They were hunting Hitchcock. So in films like Psycho, he solved it in a simple way. He appeared right at the beginning. Problem solved. Distraction gone. When I review PPP bids, clients always ask the same question. “Vicente…...
