You're a loser if you play this game
|
Would you play a game where you have 99% chances of losing? Before you answer, listen. Or read… sometimes I forget that this is an email… ​ Well… read or listen. ​ It’s impossible to make an adult to change their mind. Impossible, at least in one conversation, demonstration or else. In fact, the more you try, the more convince that “adult” is on their position. ​ It’s that simple. ​ And if not impossible, let’s say that this won’t happen 99% of the time. ​ Well… ​ People are still playing that game. Over and over. Over and over. Every single day. ​ No wonder why they could be called losers. ​ Still, people argue. People get angry with one another. People lose their friendships. ​ What a waste. ​ And very importantly remember this. Remember it very well. Repeat it every day. People prefer to be right than knowing the truth. I do my things. I let others argue, enter into arguments… I just go with MY flow. ​ I do small investments, some other quite big. ​ Since I don’t argue, I live happier and wealthier, and I go faster. ​ A lot of this is expressed in my philosophy about how approach real estate. ​ If you want to know more… here you can get some clarity. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

One of the things I’m trying to be practical about is gifts. In Spain, gifts are given on the 6January morning. The 3 wise men day. There is also a very famous place. El Corte Inglés… or The English Cut (?) Where you can buy all gifts. Adults and children alike. From clothing to iPads to travel packages. One shop to get everything. So, you won’t see...
Somewhere in Latin America. 2021. A consortium wins a massive infrastructure contract. Billions of dollars. Press headlines. Champagne. “We’re the best,” they say. More Champagne. Expensive hotels. More expensive restaurants. The very first project like this… ever. Yeah! Bonus. Yeah! But that was the problem. The team that won it… had zero clue how to deliver a PPP of that size. This is NOT theory. This happened in real life. Signed. Celebrated. New suits. Photos with the minister. Of course…...
They say that if you don’t get haters, it’s because you are unnoticed. They also say that if you don’t get sued, it’s because you are not achieving anything valuable. I may be talking a little personal here. But, apply this to the PPP world and you’ll get the same pattern. If you are an agency and some people don’t dislike you, you’re probably being average. You’re a kind of Care Bear, an Osito Amoroso. Spreading love. Fearful of upsetting anybody. You’re average in Averageland. And if you...
