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.

That thing is the Hand-Back Regime. And it is one of the most...
Resources. It’s always a question of resources. Your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. All the same. They cheap you in with the resources. "Save here". "Save there". "$10k more of salary for this key person is too much…" in a $1bn project! "We can’t afford it". Etc. Then, one day… We are in a rush. Because someone told your boss, your company, your client, your contractor. That you needed more resources immediately. Additional scope. An urgent solution. And other excuses made...
Imagine that you’re in the middle of a settlement to buy a big property. Your people are telling you that there are a few defects. That you should hold the settlement. Or make a retention. Fight until the vendor repairs. Only one question to the team. “Is it more than 2.000$?” “Around that, yes” “Then forget it” “Why?” “Just the cost in legal fees to submit emails, agree retentions, etc. can cost about that money. Not worthy in a several millions purchase”. If that sounds logical to you,...
