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.

They had seen how psychological pressure could be more powerful than numbers. They had seen how confusion, speed, diplomacy,...
If your team spends more time on format than content… Your company… Your project… Your leadership… Has a problem. A big one. “Not professional.” “Not following the brand guidelines.” “My boss will not approve it.” “My client will not approve it.” Trust me. A well-written, well-structured memo in a blank Word document with no logo can do maravillas. The fanciest PowerPoint with no substance only does one thing: It extends useless meetings at a rate of 6 minutes per slide. Minimum. The excuses...
I haven’t been involved in disputes or claims lately. I gave that up. Entirely. The reason? Nobody wins. No matter how well you do it, one side ends up unhappy. Sometimes both. And unhappy endings are not my cup of tea. I prefer to focus on preventing misunderstandings, disputes, and nasty claims before they happen. Because it is possible. It is feasible.
