You need to read this

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 are the same thing.
3. They assume friends will act like friends when it comes to money.
4. They make promises and break them, especially to themselves.
5. They assume anyone making money is smarter than them.
6. They are easily distracted.
7. They prioritize looking smart over acting smart.
8. They think asking for help means that they are helpless.
9. They expect things to be easy.
10. They blindly trust people they know.
11. They blame anything besides themselves for their problems.
12. They look for one thing to solve all of their problems.
13. They believe their own bullshit.
14. They get married to someone who spends more money than they make.

Nothing more for today.

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...

I once had a client that thought they were running a design-build project.Except they weren’t.They were in a PPP. But nobody told them.Or worse… they didn’t want to know. Their consultants kept “refining the design.”Week after week.Change after change.Every corridor got moved.Every façade got re-imagined.Every mechanical room had a “better idea.” They thought this was free.Like playing with Lego.
