Why I Don’t Disconnect on Holiday


Between the mojito and the margarita I hear noises.

Soft voices talking.

I hear worries.

And people.

​

Worried about coming back.

About what’s next at work.

Bad bosses.

Bad companies.

Bad clients.

​

And they still pretend to “disconnect.”

As if turning off the phone will turn off reality.

​

I don’t need to disconnect.

I like being connected.

Emails.

Calls.

News.

Deals.

​

Because I’m not afraid of what’s next.

I’m curious about it.

Excited most of the time…

Despite set backs and great challenges.

I’ve built skills, systems, and nerve to handle whatever lands on my desk — or my sun lounger.

Knowledge gives you power and control.

And when you feel in control… everything is smoother.

​

One day I listened to someone I mentor this talking about a course I recommended in Real Estate in Spain: “It’s expensive for not being an “official” diploma”…

​

That’s a sickness called “titulitis” or “diplomitis”.

​

Look.

Some of the most powerful lessons you can learn in life are free.

Like the middle finger that blond girl gave you in a bar when you were drunk and you didn’t use Listerine.

Free and powerful.

You didn’t need an official diploma.

​

Because updating yourself isn’t about diplomas.

It’s about being so good, so sharp, and so in motion…

…that the future stops looking like a threat and starts looking like dessert.

​

Fear belongs to the outdated.

The rest of us are busy loading the next upgrade.

Boardroom. On one side: Equity – polished, confident, smelling of bonus.On the other: Client – nervous, stiff, with a dozen consultants whispering in their ear. In the corner: CJV (construction JV) – trying not to scream. In the other corner, one guys… the maintainer. The topic? Lightbulbs. Yes, lightbulbs. The client says:“We need all lighting to last 50 years. No exceptions. It’s in the contract.” The equity guy raises an eyebrow. “50 years? That’s longer than some governments last… even in...

A few days ago, I wrote a post in LinkedIn. You know. Usual stuff. Criticizing something that… let’s say… could be better. End result… of the project, I mean, was public bailout. Of course, bonuses did not need to be handed back. Of course, not. End result… of the post, I mean, is that I was oversimplifying. That the project was not bankable in the first place. That they needed warranties to make it bankable. The silence of the cricks when you ask… why didn’t you explain how to make it...

If you don't know Alex Hormozi, you should look for him... he is everywhere. If you want to sell something, you should read his books. If you want to get inspired, you should read how he started from broke to something. Yesterday I saw one of this posts... it was so powerful, that I wanted to share it with you: Instead of trying to get rich. Do this. Try not being poor. This is what poor people do:1. Start many projects, finish none. 2. Think that understanding the basics and doing the basics...
