You'll ignore the signs
|
It’s one of those images that were hidden. They remained unnoticed to me until two and a half years ago… when my child was born. Cigarette butts. You see them on the floor on every street, on every public square, on every children playground, in Spain. Despite signals. Despite campaigns by the government. Despite science. Despite basic education. Despite the ability to read the “smoking kills” of every package. People are attached to old habits despite they know they are bad. No matter what you try to persuade, they won’t change. They are doomed. They are condemned. The same happens in other aspects of life, not just that unhealthy habit. Getting attached to toxic couple. Getting attached to toxic jobs. Getting attached to poisonous pay checks. Never looking for a way out… That is evident many times. You have the signs. The information. The models. And still… you won’t use that way out. Don’t believe me? Here you are a sign. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend. They will thank you enormously one day.

First, you master the contract. You know every clause....
Research shows that doctors with 20 years of experience… Are often less skilled than when they first left medical school. Read that again. Less skilled. Let that sink in. These doctors didn’t become worse overnight. They just stopped evolving. They got trapped in routines. In habits. In outdated ways of thinking. So instead of 20 years of experience… They have 1 year of experience repeated 20 times. Shocking? Really? Because, it shouldn’t be. This is the norm. Think of... Engineering....
Yesterday, a student told me:“ You’re selling this for peanuts.” He’s right. I know it. But when something is working… when things are flowing… You don’t touch it. At least, that’s what they say. But here’s the problem: Underpricing is not generosity. It’s positioning. And I’m done positioning this as cheap. So yes…I’m breaking the rule. I’m increasing the price of everything in the academy. All of it. Today, you can still get in at the current price. Tomorrow? You’ll pay double. For example,...
