Hi everyone,
Did any of you watch the now infamous events in the US as it unfolded last night?
Geepers, I watched it live on Youtube, pro-Trump supporters storming the capitol building, a woman getting shot and killed inside ! What's the world coming to?? It was CRAAA-ZY man being a witness to something that last happened in what...1814 !!?
Anyway, let's see what happens in the next 2 weeks leading up to the Biden inauguration and whether article 25 proceedings removing Trump summarily will be pursued.
Ok, that madness aside, I just wanted to touch base again as we all embrace this new year...
Yes guys, we can be as amped and motivated as we can and possibly want to be-, and obviously staying positive and consistent is very important, BUT some of us also need to really realise that if we want a different result, we simply have to do things differently this year. We just sometimes need to get ON with things and stop mucking about...stop overthinking things.
I hope you all don't mind me being blunt, but it does surprise me how complacent and "Harry Casual" some folks are when it comes to making decisive and positive and changes with regards to their careers.
I really try and help folks, but OMG...the uuuhming and aaahing, the lame excuses at times, the wasting of time...twiddling fingers, procrastinating, "mañana, mañana" and what-not...it's really mind-blowing actually.
Don't be like that client who's passport copy you're waiting for to close the investment deal...you know, the "I'll-get- back-to-you" guy?? A firm favorite. We all know where that is going!
With that in mind, and because of the strict transparency laws here in Panama, you need to know that I work for free, that my money is a fixed monthly pay check that comes from the tooth fairy, so things like wasting my time does not affect me at ALL, thank goodness. Money just falls from the sky, it's amazing. Riiiight, let's leave it at that.
Ok, so for the serious people among you-, if you don't know it by now, I do believe in being authentic. You don't have to LIKE me and we really don't have to become BBF's at all. That said, you get someone a great gig and we just end up getting along really well regardless, right? It works.
I also have the advantage of saying whatever I want in here, because I CAN, not because I'm in the "being a KNOB" business, but ultimately the goal is to provide opportunities and get a a win-win for all. The brave 8000+ souls that hang around, usually get the the JAM when they end up needing it.
For the new folks, I don't like to over complicate things. You get the job, I get paid= happy wife. Happy wife=happy life...for the most part anyway, and that's the only math and formulas I try and concern myself with these days.
I'm in the "helping-those-who-want-to-help-themselves" business, it's really that simple folks. All others are free to unsubscribe ( I see who it is anyway) and fall around as they see fit, no love lost. I have crawled around a few countries as an IFA myself for close to a decade-, I know the gig from ALL sides...so I can point out any potholes you might no know about!
RIGHT, now that you have your reading quota done for the month, shall we get on with things?
