The brain is an extraordinary organ when looking for causes to say no. In fact, unfortunately for your pocket and mine, many people are just empowered to say no. Politicians, public servants, flight attendants, utility workers, and so on. They see risks everywhere instead of solutions and ways out. Terrible sickness. ​ With only a cure… ​ Not depending on the no-sayers. That’s called freedom and a I-don’t-give-a-f*uck mindset where your brain works around solutions and to achieve your objectives. You cannot kill them, at least legally, you can just work around.

With assets putting money in your pocket every month, life seems quite different. ​ Some of my secrets, my numbers, profitability and much more, below. ​

That bundle of floppy disks was the prototype of Microsoft’s Windows 95, and...
Daniel Kahneman, the author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, did an experiment. He gave two options: Would you accept a gamble that offers a 10% chance to win $95 and a 90% chance to lose $5? Or. Would you pay $5 to participate in a lottery that offers a 10% chance to win $100 and a 90% chance to win nothing? Well… if you studied engineering, you have convinced yourself that the two problems are identical. In both, you are either richer by $95 or poorer by $5. But that’s engineering mindset… No...
Monge Malo, the best seller in Spanish language told this story a few days ago. In 1978, Richard Branson (founder of Virgin), to impress his then-girlfriend, pretended to be buying a deserted island. Yeah… just like that. Some vacuum the car, others pretend to buy an island… The island’s price was $6 million. Richard offered $100,000. Just for the laughs and with the intention to have good company under the sheet. The owner counter-offered at $180,000, and Richard ended up acquiring Necker...
