If people expect little from you… You often deliver little. If people expect more...
A guy once told me a story. A friend of his used to do business with an architect. And in this architect’s office there was a brick. Not a sculpture. Not a model. Not some sophisticated architectural piece made with sustainable Nordic clay blessed by monks. A brick. A normal brick. But the brick was sitting on a rotating platform. With a spotlight pointing at it. Very serious. Like the bloody thing was the Mona Lisa. So one day the guy asked: “Why the hell do you have a brick spinning under a...
$10 million companies are not built on $10 tasks. Read this again. Let it sink. I told something like that once to my brother when we were expanding our real estate company in Panama. Because when you grow, something funny happens. You say you want a bigger business. More sales. More projects. More money. More freedom.
