When I hear this, there is a shake in my spine. I’ll try. Or worse. We’ll try. That’s a total lack of commitments. I’m not talking about common sense in the White House. No. But about commitment. Commitment is one of those things there is total shortage. Too many individuals, companies, organizations… too many fail to commit fully to their activities, duties, obligations and responsibilities. They are not on board. They don’t feel real pain if something is not achieved. To acquire success is...

Your network is your net worth, and it’s shrinking… You wake up, check your phone. Get work done, on your laptop. Buy your groceries, with a click. Order lunch and dinner, from an app. Watch a movie, on a screen. Go to bed, after one last scroll. A day of life, and you seldom have to talk mouth hole to mouth hole. If this feels normal, that’s because it is. But normal doesn’t mean good, and the data shows we’re choosing this path more than ever. • In-person socializing dropped by over 20%...

If your only plan to improve your finances is cutting expenses, you’ve got a big problem. Not because it’s a bad plan—it’s not... If you’re wasting money on unnecessary crap, the first thing you should fix is exactly that. But… The problem is purely mathematical, and I love maths. Cutting expenses has a limit. If you make 3.000 euros or dollars or whatever per month and save 500… You may be able to save 200 more. If you turn off Netflix, maybe 215… If you cut Amazon Prime, maybe 300 And if...

I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. On the promise of a pension. On kleptocratic politicians squeezing you “for your own good.” Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. And if you don’t disrupt, you’re the...

Every business has moved online in recent years. Even the fishmonger in your hometown has joined TikTok and does live streams while serving customers. The same has happened in real estate. Agencies have shifted from offices to Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, and YouTube. From attracting clients with window signs to delivering properties straight to your phone.

Look at what I learned today from the great Isra Bravo. Imagine you are born today. Yes… today. Imagine now that your parents want to torture you. And they decide to make you watch all the videos uploaded to YouTube today. Just the day of your birth… As a welcoming gift to you to introduce you to the world you’re going to live on. I repeat. Every single video uploaded to YouTube. And only the videos from that day. Exclusively those. Not a single more. Well… Do you know when you would finish...

Coming back from holidays always brings me great things. Lots of work. Interesting work. Jet lag. An amazing inside force that pushes me to achieve more. In life, you do, you do mistakes, you learn, adjust and repeat. That’s the only path for greatness… in any field. No mistakes, no learning, no freedom. Take the time to reflect in your mistakes. But do it as an external observer. As a reader of the situation. As an avid student looking for an A. Check what I learned from a project that went...

It’s a constant. When you talk freely about money you’re critized. And not just from Spain, the country that is a fiscal hell but the paradise of criticism and the prosecution of the rich, no… It’s everywhere. It’s becoming a kind of tabu. Look. The world is full of people who say, "money isn’t important". Good for them. But I think they don’t know what they’re saying. They just say it for the sake of saying it. It’s a cliché. If they stopped for a moment to think, they would realize that...

When Bill Gates crossed the border from the United States to Canada some years ago, the customs agent asked him if he had anything of value to declare. He pulled out a stack of floppy disks wrapped in rubber bands. “This is worth at least $50 billion,” he said. The customs agent shrugged, thinking he was talking to a nut and let the richest man in the world pass through the border without paying anything in taxes. That bundle of floppy disks was the prototype of Microsoft’s Windows 95, and...
