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.

I charge US$49.90 for a first call. Not enough to make me rich. At least not yet… and of course, not at that price. But the cost is still enough to make someone stop and ask: “Do I actually have a problem worth discussing?” Free calendars tend to attract three things: “Can I pick...
IBM had the best add possible: “Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” The logic was simple… as it was people they targeted. If it worked, fine. If it failed, nobody could blame you. You had chosen the biggest name. The sure name. Then a competitor added: “And nobody ever got promoted for buying IBM either.” Brilliant. Look. Too many advisers and providers are still selected like this. Through fear. The biggest logo. The thickest proposal. The largest team. The safe choice. Then the proposal...
Ah, Fiji… what a wonderful place! Almost one in three people here is Indo-Fijian. That did not begin with a migration strategy. It began with sugar. The British, those guys that always do things right and say the Spaniards are the devil, needed cheap labour for the plantations.
