Next time someone tells you that making money isn't a matter of mindset, ask them how much they earn. ​ ​ I see out there many people following advice from people that have zero skin in the game. Accountants that tell you to do X, Y, Z, with your investments… but they don’t have any investments. Or accountants that tell you that you shouldn’t create a company and remain as a sole entrepreneur because it’s simpler… but they use a company. Traders that provide courses and make zero dollars doing traders… 100% of revenues providing courses. ​ I always got fascinated by professors in MBA schools that were teaching “business”, but they haven’t created any. Now, it’s the social media. People telling you about successful businesses that you should create… when the only business they have created is being an influencer. ​ Look. ​ Use this information as you like. ​ If you want to follow someone with skin in the game.

They pushed what, in PPP terms, is basically the nuclear button: step-in, buy-out, asset recovery… messily… everything at once. OMG. The...
Everything starts in a few hours. At around 9:00am. Matt Gray calls it separation. Why? Because what you choose to do at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning will separate you from 99% of your competitors. No matter is colleagues, companies or whatever. You compete. Almost for survival. While many wait to January 1st to start doing things in a new year, Matt Gray for example starts his year on October 1. While everyone else is waiting until after the holidays to start, he already knows exactly what he is...
Commandment #1 — Until it is signed, nothing is approved. Forget the workshops, the smiles, the “green light,” the political announcement, the press release. If the contract isn’t signed, nothing is real. Assume this, or prepare for endless backtracking and surprises. Commandment #2 — If you didn’t get the OK from the affected stakeholders, don’t do it. Treasury, the local council, procurement, operations, the unions, regulators, local communities, the CFO… Miss one and you’ll pay for it...
