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.

The kind of people you need when something breaks and suddenly your life becomes a small Latin American tragedy. Yes. I like exploring. I like investing. I like trying things. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it...
Some people keep asking for a manual. A framework. A checklist. A step-by-step guide. A beautiful PDF with arrows, diagrams, acronyms, and the comforting illusion that if they follow it properly, nothing bad will happen. Let me tell you something that may hurt a little. Or a lot… depending on how many checklists and guides you’re collecting and keeping unread somewhere in your laptop or phone… People who are obsessed with manuals are often not looking for knowledge. They are looking for...
Look at the difference: Saying “it’s about intelligence” feels much harder than saying “it’s about learning something.” Saying “it’s about discipline” feels very different from saying “it’s about giving it more time.” Saying “it’s about luck” is one movie. Saying “it’s about trying as many times as necessary” is a completely different one. Different versions, of the same thing: “I won’t be able to do it.” vs “I’m not able to do it yet.” “My client is not like that.” vs “My current client is...
