The maliciously obedient

They are people and contractors alike. ​ I have one I love. It’s the company that is building one of my projects in Spain. ​ You choose the best in experience. Even you pay a premium to hire the guys. ​ Then, work start. Progress slow. Extras coming in… and in… and in… Questions. More questions. More obvious questions. No progress. And your experience? Your references? ​ “I do what you tell me to do. Nothing else. Nothing more”. ​ These are the maliciously obedient. They do exactly and only what you tell them to do, accepting no responsibility for results. ​ If you detect one of them in a meeting, run. Run as fast as you can. Put it as far from you as you can. ​ If you detect one of them in the middle of a project, you estás jodido. This is why you need a big margin in your projects… as you know that this will happen one day and you’ll get into trouble. This is why if you detect one in your company, you want financial freedom to get out of there asap if you cannot terminate it. ​ And talking about financial freedom, this is the course I recommend you if you are starting and decide to use real estate to do it. ​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.

Consultants are vampires. Old manners, old customs, old dresses, old mentality… they behave as frozen in time. Of course, not all of them. But think a little about it. If you wonder why the construction industry is so behind, what’s their responsibility? In theory, these guys should bring innovation and modernity to the industry. They are the ones that know the most, right? The ones that design our building, bridges and roads… But, a bad revenue structure can fire back and create the wrong...
Many people don’t believe it but you can become who you want to be. But you need to want to become that person. And don’t listen to me. Look at the data and evidence. One of the classic stories in the field of self-fulfilling prophecies is of a computer in the UK that was accidently programmed incorrectly. This computer was supposed to be used by a school to put children in the “right” classrooms, i.e., in the classroom of smart people and in the classroom of the dumb people. Yeah… English...
A friend asked me a couple of days ago. What’s your opinion about the debate, who won? My answer was short and to the point. “I didn’t watch the debate. I didn’t read about it. I simply don’t care.” Look. If you worry or care about who won the debate or who will win the elections, you are in trouble. Mentally in trouble. You’ve got a mindset issue. A disability. People work and work… and work and work. Many hours. Many. Many. And still, they don’t make much progress. Same salary… well,...
