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.

This happened in a mid-sized developed country of the Commonwealth just a few years ago. The government wanted a flagship social infrastructure project: a cluster of new courthouses and justice facilities, spread across regional cities. They framed it as transformational. A “once in a generation” opportunity. Ministers on stage, cameras rolling, the usual...
A couple of days ago I was invited to a podcast. One of the questions I was asked was… “What advice you have for entrepreneurs” Or that kind of question. But the answer was instantaneous. Do, do and do. Many are frozen. Other overwhelmed for all things they have to do. Others are lazy and procrastinators that use busyness to justify inaction. Others want perfection that is one of the worst procrastinators’ behaviours. And they don’t launch or try anything until perfect. And you know that...
I stopped this idea of paying for an hour. It’s outdated. Consultancy as we know it is dead. But many consultants have not realized of that. Paying by the hour encourages inefficiency. It’s easy. Lazy. Change a monthly salary for monthly hours at a rate. Sounds familiar. But it’s wrong. Knowledge cannot be measure in hours. You have it. And you can present it in seconds… not hours. Some people understand this concept. It happened to me a few months ago. A post in LinkedIn about a particular...
