When your world catches fire, do this
|
You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. ​ Don’t believe it? ​ Well… let’s check. ​ You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but... ​ You check your phone. 3 unexpected emails, 5 notifications… ​ The message from your boss, or a client. A new presentation to be delivered tomorrow. The guy that was going to help you is sick. The other lady you were expecting to review her job didn’t have the time to delivered it. ​ You cancel the gym. Start working from home with just a sip of coffee and leave two hours late. Work, work and work and cling to your phone until bedtime, which, of course, is three hours later than it should be. ​ You tell yourself silly things like you'll sleep tomorrow or that you need some time to unwind… ​ ​ Your discipline is weaker than the ideals of a politicians in front of their donners. ​ ​ Just a small piece of advice that you didn’t ask for. ​ Next time that someone call you with something urgent use one of these two techniques:
​ That’s your statement of intent. ​ And if you think that your boss or your client will fire you… you’re wrong. Nothing that send more authority to and calm more the other than knowing that you are busy and working hard. ​ So, next time that your world catches fire, remember: you can’t come right now. ​ For more tips, just join my mentorship in the link below: ​Join my mentorship - Only $24.90 - LAUNCHING PRICE​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...
I have a few face-to-face mentees and they have 3 types of problems: You say you became an entrepreneur to be free… but you work more hours than ever.You say you want to help… but you can barely help yourself.You say you’re chasing freedom… but you’ve built your own cage. I’m sure it also sounds familiar to you.And I also know it’s not your fault. It’s the fault of all the bullsh*t promises they sold you:That entrepreneurship would make you free.That you just need more followers.That what...
