Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. And that’s absolutely true. From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work.

In some meetings, what you really need is… A proper fart. Yes. Loud. Wet. Smelly. “Con dos cojon€s.” Or with two balls. I’m talking about those meetings with no life and no soul. Boring. No agenda. No direction. “Update meetings”, they call them. They could at least give you popcorn. Or coffee. Or a shot of caffeinated life. I don’t know. Look. There are, at least, 5 things you simply cannot do in meetings. The first one is having more than two people at the table… Although I understand this...
I’m closing a real estate deal in the range of millions. Still, people around the deal are discussing $150 fees. It doesn’t make sense to me. It shouldn’t make sense to you either.
