Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company. So, continuing your education, trying new things, get exposed to new people, thinking, mindsets, businesses, opinions, etc. is just a way to give you more options.

Knowing is not enough. Working is not enough. Probably, you already know that… or maybe not. After many years of being a CEO, I tell you what works. You need to be seen knowing and working. That’s it. Being nice gets you accommodation. People will like having you around. They may even thank you. But being useful, visible and difficult to overlook is what makes you progress. 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.
