You want to get fit or financially free? Don't do this
|
You know that working 8 hours a day for over 40 years straight, just to retire and finally enjoy “the life of your dreams” in the last stage of your life has never been my cup of tea. ​ My goal is not the Lambo. It’s not drinking overpriced wine… and obviously not New Zealand red wines. ​ I just want to own my time. ​ That’s it. ​ Some people call this financial freedom. ​ You know that I read about the subject. Forums, blogs, books, and… from time to time I did it on social media. ​ Yes… it was a time where I checked those places. ​ Here is the problem I discovered. ​ If you check those sites that poison your brain, you’ll find a bunch of self-proclaimed “experts” telling you exactly what to do to reach financial freedom. ​ The problem? None of them have actually achieved it. ​ Think about it: ​ Overweight people preaching health. Government employees giving startup advice. Broke financial gurus talking about “freedom” while watching their bank account hit zero on the 25th… ​ Come on… You have to laugh. ​ I don’t know about you, but I don’t listen to people like that. ​ Think again: Want to get fit? Follow athletes, coaches, and nutritionists. Want to learn business? Study successful entrepreneurs. Want financial freedom? Pay attention to people who are already there. ​ That’s it. ​ And with projects or infrastructure, this works the same. ​ Think again please: Want a bridge over the sea? Find those that have successfully done it before. Want a tunnel under the sea? Find those that have successfully done it before. Want a successful PPP? Find those projects that were delivered successfully ​ That’s it. ​ Want to know about a project that was successful despite all the odds? ​ Check below.

Dear project managers and executivesYou are not paid to referee ego wars.You are paid to protect outcomes. I have seen this many times. And doubts and concerns freeze you like a bunny looking at the two lights of the car moving to you. Look. If you're witnessing a standoff between two inflated egos, do everyone a favor:Remove them both—or at least the one you can control. Will it feel disruptive? Yes.Expensive? Maybe.Unfair? Possibly. But trust me... it’s a bargain compared to the cost of...
When I had no money, I spent my days around people who criticized others. Now that I have a little money, all I hear when someone talks about others is: “I love that guy,” “He’s brilliant,” “What a machine”, “Qué huevos tiene”, etc. Failures focus on hating. Successful people focus on admiring—and finding people worth admiring. Failures assume malice. Successful people assume kindness. Failures obsess over what they don’t like. Successful people are blind to what they don’t like. Failures...
“When you understand that every opinion is a vision loaded with personal history, you will begin to understand that all judgment is a confession.” – Nikola Tesla Note that sentence. Do it by hand. Yes, in a piece of paper. Have it next to your screen, desk, or whatever. Read it every day. and every time a stupid shows you his stupidity through his month. If that sentence does not make you jump out of your chair to do something productive... you simply have no blood in your veins. That's all...
