When you know this, nothing will be the same


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.

We define ourselves when we choose our company to our family.

We define ourselves when we watch television instead of reading a book on business or investing.

We define ourselves when we turn our money over to a mutual fund to invest for us instead of learning how to invest by ourselves.

We define ourselves when we choose social media to improve ourselves.

You’ve already had a few defining moments today.

What you choose from now on… it’s up to you. But now, I hope that you are conscious of every decision you make.

This doesn’t mean shouting louder than everyone else. It means making your contribution impossible to misunderstand....

Millions of people gathered around the same event. Millions of people with something in common. A couple of weeks have passed, but I’m Spanish, so I remember it well… even if Messi wants to forget. Around 3 hours. People had no time to go to the gym. No time to read a book. No time to study. No time to start that business idea. No time to cook before leaving home. Look, that’s perfectly fine. But… Next time you don’t do something, don’t say it’s because you don’t have time. Say it isn’t a...

Most people do not fail in negotiations. They simply aim too low. They enter the room hoping to: Reduce the increase. Limit the damage. Get something back. Avoid an argument. And then they celebrate a mediocre result because it was slightly better than the worst-case scenario. Perfect. If you’ve never felt that feeling… congrats. You’re probably never negotiated anything meaningful. For the rest… let me tell you that was my day to day. Every meeting. Clients, subbies, employees. Many years to...
