Desmarcar cuenta de 4x1000 en @RappiColombia: uso la App, 10 segundos.

Marcar la cuenta en @Bancolombia al día siguiente: 5 llamadas telefónicas a diferentes horas del día, autenticaciones fallidas y caídas del sistema, 104 minutos en total.

Como accionista genera preocupación.

@risierra88 Interesante ver el impacto real de cada uno de estos procesos en el bolsillo de la gente.

Yo miraría más a las notarías... Esas sí que aportan poco, son automatizables y parecen poco transparentes

@german_ricaurte @DanielSamperO Otra pregunta importante es por qué la prensa lo reveló después del 21 de junio... O es que las 200 bocaminas las construyeron hace 1 mes y nadie las vio antes?

#Mundial
Veo que la principal diferencia entre las selecciones de África/Asia y las de Europa/América es que las primeras juegan con hambre y las segundas se creen merecedoras de ganar solo por historia o jerarquía.

No subestimes a alguien que juega/trabaja con hambre

my dad was a fucking rocket engineer who taught me something that made me RICH

wasn't some soft ass "believe in yourself" bs

it was QUICK MATH (keep reading it's saucy)

this man ran calculations for missile trajectories in the military. could tell you impact coordinates in his head while other guys needed computers. but he'd say "close enough is better than perfect too late"

"347 divided by 45? about 7. move the fuck on."

he'd make me calculate brutal equations instantly. not perfectly. INSTANTLY. because in real situations perfect math gets you killed while you're calculating

meanwhile you common folk are sitting with your calculator app making sure you got the EXACT answer while opportunities are flying past at 1000mph

this is why you're easy to kill in business...

you're trying to be PRECISE when you need to be FAST

business decision? you want 22 spreadsheets and three consultants' opinions. your competitor already launched, failed, pivoted, and is banking while you're on slide 73 of your market analysis like some soft as baby shit analyst

pricing your service? you're researching statistics for weeks. just pick a fucking number that scares you and TEST IT. wrong? change it tomorrow. you lost one day not six months.

"but what if i'm wrong?"

YOU WILL BE WRONG YOU FUCKING MORON

difference is i'm wrong in 5 seconds and correct in 10. you're still thinking about maybe being wrong next year while i'm already counting money

my first agency? picked price out of thin air. $5k/month felt insane. someone paid instantly. raised to $10k next day. then $20k. found the ceiling in 3 weeks.

you would've surveyed 100 people and ended up at $2k because that's what the statistics said was "reasonable"

quick math beats perfect math EVERY FUCKING TIME

hiring? meet them, trust your gut, done. "but what about background checks..." shut up. you know in 10 minutes if someone's solid or soft as baby shit. everything else is corporate theater.

launching products? ship at 70% and fix it live. "but what if..." what if you die waiting for perfect? at least i'm getting paid while fixing bugs instead of perfecting something nobody wants.

here's what overthinking really is: FEAR dressed up as intelligence

you're not being thorough. you're being a PUSSY, you want spreadsheets to blame when shit fails instead of owning your decisions like someone who isn't easy to kill

fuck your process.

347 divided by 45? about 7

should i hire this broad? she seems hungry? hired.

should i fire this client? they annoy me? gone.

should i raise prices? feeling poor? doubled.

CLOSE ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH

perfect is for common folk who die with perfect plans. done is for killers who die with results.

i watch people spend 6 months on business plans that are worthless the second reality hits. my business plan was "make money." took 2 seconds. still works.

you know what matters? VELOCITY not accuracy.

100 decisions at 70% accuracy beats 10 decisions at 95% accuracy. because those 100 decisions taught you what actually works while your statistics are still theoretical

my competitors still calculating unit economics while i've tested 20 offers and found the one that prints. they have better spreadsheets. i have better everything else.

quick math principle applies to everything:

relationships? you know in 10 seconds if a broad is worth your time. stop needing 6 months of data to "be sure"

investments? thesis makes sense and founder isn't soft? send it. your due diligence is just procrastination with a fancy name

opportunities? someone offers you something that could work? say yes figure it out later. "but the statistics say..." statistics are for people easy to kill

here's the truth: your best educated guess RIGHT NOW beats your perfect answer NEVER

because while you're calculating, killers are DOING. while you're analyzing statistics, they're creating them. while you're planning, they're already celebrating.

347 divided by 45?

about 7.

good enough.

NEXT.

a "close enough" nuke skill decimates a city. a nuke that never launches does ZERO

now make that fucking decision you've been sitting on. your gut already knows. stop pretending you need more data.

study the yegor method.

Hola.
Esta es la historia de Gino Bartali.

La historia de un ciclista italiano que lo ganó todo, tanto subido a su bicicleta, como bajado de ella.

Aún hoy, 24 años después de su muerte, se le conoce todavía como “El Justo” y “El Hombre de Hierro”.

¿Me acompañas?

@sortegarango De manera que primero tienes que sacar todos los otros fósiles más contaminantes de la matriz instalando eolico, solar y baterías a 4 manos, además de eliminar trabas administrativas.

Luego con algo de tecnología haces respuesta de la demanda en varios frentes, principalmente VE

[Michael Arroyave @Mike_Arroyave]

@sortegarango De la matriz eléctrica es posible pero no viable económicamente.

El punto es que es el más "limpio" de los combustibles, incluso Celsia instaló muy recientemente un generador a boca de pozo, que no creo que tengan intenciones de desmontar en 2030.

So, my lovelies, Version 5.0 of the #HydrogenLadder has dropped. Three promotions, seven demotions, five wording changes, five use cases combined into two and four new use cases. And yet, 2/3 of Version 4.1 made it into Version 5. There goes your weekend!

"apply a disproportionate energy to the things that are in your control."

[Billy Oppenheimer @bpoppenheimer]

After his second year at Michigan, Tom Brady wanted to transfer.

He wasn't playing in games, and he was so low on the depth chart that he only got 2 reps in practice.

Brady met with his coach to express his frustration, “The other quarterbacks get all the reps.”

Coach replied,

“Brady, I want you to stop worrying about what all the other players on our team are doing. All you do is worry about what the starter is doing, what the second guy is doing, what everyone else is doing. You don't worry about what you're doing.”

Coach reminded him, “You came here to be the best. If you're going to be the best, you have to beat out the best.”

And then he recommended that Brady start meeting with Greg Harden, a sports psychologist who worked in Michigan's athletic department.

Brady went to Harden's office and whined, “I'm never going to get my chance. They're only giving me 2 reps.”

Harden simply replied, “Just go out there and focus on doing the best you can with those 2 reps. Make them as perfect as you possibly can.”

“So that's what I did,” Brady said. “They'd put me in for those 2 reps, man, I'd sprint out there like it was Super Bowl 39. 'Let's go boys! Here we go! What play we got?'”

“And I started to do really well with those 2 reps. Because I brought enthusiasm, I brought energy.”

Soon, it went from getting 2 reps to getting 4 reps. Then from 4 to 10, “and before you knew it,” Brady said, with this new mindset that Greg instilled in me—to focus on what you can control, to focus on what you're getting, not what anyone else is getting, to treat every rep like it's the Super Bowl—eventually, I became the starter.”

Takeaway 1:

Greg Harden telling Brady to just focus on being great during his 2 reps reminded me of a piece of advice from the entrepreneur Mark Cuban.

“People come to me all the time and tell me they're stuck,” Cuban explained. “They're stuck in a job they don't like. They're stuck working for a boss they don't like. They're stuck on a team they don't like.”

“I just tell them, 'Be great.'”

“The reality of life is that you can't just always quit your job. You can't just always go to your boss and say, 'Give me the promotion, or I'm out of here.'” You can't just always go to your coach and say, 'Give me more reps, or I'm transferring.'

“So when you're stuck, you've gotta find it within yourself to say, 'Ok, this is where I am. And if I'm going to be here, I'm going to be great.'

Because if you're great at your job, typically other people and companies find out, so it creates opportunities.”

Takeaway 2:

I've written before about “lead measures”—the actions and behaviors that predictably drive success.

The core characteristic of a lead measure, the authors of The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) write, is that “a lead measure is influenceable; it can be directly influenced by you.”

To achieve your goals, they recommend (echoing what the Michigan Coach told Brady), apply a disproportionate energy to the things that are in your control.

Starting at Michigan and for the rest of his career, that’s what Brady did, that’s what drove his success.

In his first media call after he was selected by the New England Patriots with the 199th pick in the 2000 draft, Brady was asked: “Are you aware that [along with starting quarterback, Drew Bledsoe] there’s another quarterback here that they drafted last year?”

Brady said he was aware of that. “And I know he’s a heck of a player,” Brady said. “But I’ve always really concerned myself just with the things I can control. I don’t put a lot of thinking into the other guys because I know I’m not at my best when I’m not just thinking about playing as well as I possibly can.”

“I never once in my life ever said I wanted to be the best of all time. Ever. I wanted to be the best I could be, period. I learned that in college. It didn’t matter what the other guys were doing. It mattered what I was doing.” — Tom Brady
