You know what you have to do... don't you?


You know what you need to do… oh yes.

But…

You live in an outdated machine. Well… We live.

Nothing excites your taste buds like fat and sugar.

Nothing.

​
Why?
Because, in a time when those resources were scarce, nature invented that way of telling you that if you came across something that gave you energy, you should gorge yourself on it.

​
The problem?
Your tongue still works like it did 200,000 years ago, but you live next to a supermarket full of industrial pastries and chips.

​
The result?
If left alone, you'd be capable of consuming junk food until you’re nauseous.

​
Right? Of course. Let's continue.

Do you know what your buttocks love the most?
No, not that.
The couch and Netflix, because if you rest, it means you don’t have to go out and hunt.

And your brain?
Avoiding the unexpected and conflict, because encountering a bear or running out of water could mean the end.

​
The result?
If left alone, you’re capable of stuffing yourself with security until you’re nauseous. Living life avoiding the fight, the cold, the failure.
And filling all your gaps with unnecessary considerations, unnecessary processes, and justifying your day based on meetings, meals, and scheduling appointments in your agenda.

​
Because it feels good, but don’t be fooled—it’s not right.

​
Even if the government doesn’t run campaigns to warn you about it. Quite the opposite. They love your binge on stability…

You know that uncomfortable means growth.

Talking to new people.

Learning new things.

Calling instead of sending an email or a WhatsApp.

Having that conversation that you should have had long time ago but you are just deferring and deferring.

And so on…

The alternative. Netflix and junk food.

What I propose you.

This.

Growth and high return.

I hope you had not been in one of those… A meeting with a Power Point. Around 130 slides… Yes. One. Hundred. Thirty. Graphs. Tables. Appendices explaining the appendices. The speaker? Monotone. Boring. Like a GPS giving directions in the desert. A funeral seemed a fiesta in Ibiza. Slide 14… Slide 38… Slide 79… Around slide 92 something magical happened. One of the client directors fell asleep. Not metaphorically. Actually asleep. Head tilted. Eyes closed. The kind of sleep that says: “I’ve...

How you do anything is how you do everything. Leave something half-done or poorly executed and people assume the rest of your work looks exactly the same. Maybe that’s unfair.Maybe it’s not true. Doesn’t matter. That’s the perception on the other side of the table. If you don’t show leadership in a simple information meeting, why would anyone trust you to lead when the deal gets complicated? If you perform poorly once, what are the chances the other side believes the next time will be...

Everything you want is on the opposite side of fear. Let’s pause for a minute and let these words sink. I’m in the middle of a complex transaction for my real estate businesses… and those words couldn’t resonate more in me. Those feelings tell me that I’m on the right path. I’m getting out of my comfort zone, and this is great. There is nothing positive in the comfort of your couch. I can’t tell you this. If you don’t feel those butterflies in your stomach. If you don’t feel the fear. The...
