The secret to unlimited ideas
|
There is one thing you need to do to have unlimited ideas. Simple. Easy. But it requires discipline and open mind. ​ Observe. That’s it. ​ Look, Jane Goodall was a lady with no formal education. She just loved animals. In 1960, she went with Louis Leakey, an anthropologist to Tanzania, to give him a hand. They studied chimpanzees’ behaviour. ​ Not much equipment, no laboratory, no guidance. Just a notebook and a pair of binoculars. For a long time, she couldn’t get close to them, but her perseverance paid off. Slowly, she noticed details no one had documented. She observed behaviours that shattered long-standing beliefs, such as chimpanzees using tools, previously thought to be an exclusively human trait. Patience and the power of observation simply revolutionized wildlife research and our understanding and views of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. ​ Just by looking. Just by observing with the intention to learn. ​ This is why I love to be surrounded by successful people making business. I take my popcorns and enjoy. I observe. I learn. Then, I even try the things that I learned. ​ You can save years by doing that yourself. Observing with the intention to learn. Observing people’s behaviours, observing trends, observing investors, observing businesspeople. With open mind, without judging. Just observing. ​ Then, geeks like me put those things into practice… ​ If you want to observe something this weekend, you can take a look to what I’ve been doing in terms of Real Estate investing in this book. ​ Real numbers, no bullsh*t. You can buy it below.

You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. Don’t believe it? Well… let’s check. You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to wake up early. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but......
Many of us see our parents putting on weight. When you have 20 or 30 kg of fat on your body and you don’t maintain good muscle mass, it’s difficult to climb stairs, get on the ground and stand up without help, or even walk. Can you imagine 20 kg less fat and 5 kg more muscle? Fitter parents and grandparents. Fewer medications. Fewer side effects. More trips. More vitality. It’s hard to change habits that have been ingrained for many years. But there are some highly effective levers that can...
Imagine a country like this: A total of 48 million inhabitants. 7.2 million under 16 years old. Therefore, they do not work. Among retirees, pensioners, the disabled, students, housewives, unemployed... there are 16.7 million who also do not work. That leaves us with 24 million people available to work (half of the country). Of those 24 million, 3.6 million are employed by the state, regions, municipalities, whatever. The rest are self-employed and salaried workers. Specifically: • 3.2...
