    Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started (seriously)

    EXECUTION 
    I would also add one thing that not many people talk about and it is to start your business before you quit your job. You probably do not need to work 16 hours per day to get started and then you can see how it goes on the initial stages before you abandon your daily job. Also testing your risk...

    Quote of the Day - QOTD

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I don't care what anyone says. Being rich is a good thing. What I've learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment. (Mark Cuban)

    I do not think so because some corporate jobs can give you a very generous salary (if of course you do not go crazy on expenses). For instance with my current salary and quite decent quality of life I can save more than 50% and I am not even close to being senior, while in places like London or...

    Practicing sales without being in sales

    MINDSET 
    I was having this discussion with a friend on how to practice sales/influence skills without necesarily working for the area. We got to the conclusion that this can work in seduction, when negotiating stuff in real life and learning how to act better in some situations (i.e role playing) but I...

    Spoiled Millennial Developing Self-Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    And based on habits theory, remember that for whatever action you want to stop it is essential to have a replacement action. For example if everytime I am hungry I order pizza it is not good idea to just sit down and do nothing but just eat/drink something else (fruit, water,tea,whatever). Good...

    Spoiled Millennial Developing Self-Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    Start small man, for me it seems you are trying too many things at the same time. Also read on how to implement good habits (The Power of Habit and Atomic Habits are two must reads).

    Thoughts On "Minimalism" And How It Affects Your Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    I applied minimalism ideas to my life and it is for sure beneficial, it leads to focus on what really matters instead of just putting more and more into your life (both materially and mentally speaking). One of the obvious benefits of this mindset is that liberates A LOT of time for you to...

    I actually listened to Unscripted and never got the physical copy lol I agree with your points sometimes it is difficult to get all the ideas with the audiobook, however I am listening these days when I am doing shallow work at my workplace and it is amazing because I save a lot of time.

    A zen monk in Japan told me: If you try to be mindful all the time, you will be exhausted because it is hard work. I was also trying to be mindful all day long (kind of) and what he said rings true. However that being said I do feel is good to apply single tasking to some activities such as...
