La forma de ver las cosas

Alimentación

La dieta no es para enflacar, la dieta es tu forma de comer todos los días, puede ser saludable o no pero no te pones a dieta, tu dieta es algo constante.

Capitalismo

Lo que hace que el libre mercado se distorsione no son los empresarios millonarios, es la gente que no aprovecha la libertad para renunciar si las cosas no le gustan. Si el talento renuncia, el empresario cambiará sus prácticas porque su objetivo es hacer dinero.

Las empresas no te dan trabajo, tu les das tu servicio a cambio de un pago justo, valora tu servicio, entre mejor lo hagas más caro serás y más gente querrá tenerlo.

Como emprendedor, los inversionistas no te dan dinero, ese es su trabajo, tu eres quien les da la oportunidad de entrar a tu negocio.

Familia

La pareja con la que decides hacer tu familia es hasta el 80% de tu felicidad. Lo mismo cuando empiezas una empresa con un socio, asegúrate de que sea una persona con la que compartes valores y costumbres similares.

La familia es un equipo, una vez que decides tener hijos el objetivo del equipo debe ser cuidar y asegurar el desarrollo de esos hijos. Para hacer esto se necesitan 2 cosas, tiempo con ellos y recursos económicos. El equipo divide esas tareas, y no me refiero a el hombre trabaja y la mujer cuida a los niños, cada equipo se organiza como quiere. Creo que la paternidad/maternidad es la responsabilidad más importante y últimamente se le ha quitado relevancia, lo que hace que la gente no se sienta satisfecha y productiva al hacerlo.

Things to watch on YouTube

The amount of content available on YouTube is overwhelming; more than 500 hours of content are uploaded every minute, making it difficult to find something to watch.

Over the past few months, I have found myself watching several channels with very niche content; things that I am not particularly passionate about. However, once I watched them and better understood the process, I was immediately hooked.

The thing that all of them have in common is that each one of them really loves what they are doing and is proud to share it with the world. From helping cows to watch restoration, these are all things that I would have never learned about if it weren’t for YouTube. Here is the list of channels that I enjoy watching and perhaps you will too:

The Hoof GP


Whristwatch Revival


AMMO NYC


Crimson Custom Guitars


Al Bladez “Cut It Up”

Always add value

“Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.”

Albert Einstein

Lately I’m trying to ask myself how can I add value instead of what can I do.

People do a lot of things but are not always meaningful, I don’t want to do a million things, I just want to do things that add value to different aspects of my life.

Finish each day with the question “Did I add value to my life or the people around me?”

La libertad como sistema político

En términos económicos, cuando llegamos a un libre mercado cada uno tiene un incentivo real para hacer el mejor trabajo posible.

Gloria Álvarez lo explicó mejor que nadie hace años en Zaragoza, España en un evento de Red Iberoamérica LIDER.

El mejor gobierno es el que no ves, el que se involucra lo menos posible. No es de izquierda, ni de derecha, simplemente permite que los ciudadanos puedan prosperar por si mismos en un libre mercado.

Ejemplo de servicio a cliente Jüsto

Después de varias semanas de platicar con mi esposa la convencí de usar Jüsto en lugar de Cornershop para pedir el super pero todo salio mal, bueno casi todo.

Al estar involucrado con startups soy bastante complaciente cuando no recibo el mejor servicio de una de ellas, entendiendo que puede ser un equipo pequeño que todavía está perfeccionando su producto pero con este caso me dí cuenta que los usuarios esperan un servicio perfecto y no les importa si eres una startup y apenas estas empezando, si prometes algo lo debes cumplir.

Todo lo que podía salir mal salió mal con nuestro pedido y mi esposa estaba muy enojada, al grado de dejar comentarios negativos en todos los posteos de Jüsto en redes sociales. Al día siguiente recibimos una llamada del responsable de servicio al cliente ofreciéndonos una disculpa, sin excusas y de manera sincera, tomando los comentarios que hicimos de la mejor manera. Al final de la llamada mi esposa me dijo que le daría una oportunidad nuevamente la siguiente semana y platico el caso en el grupo de Whatsapp de las amigas, haciendo que todas lo conocieran y probaran logrando hacer una mala experiencia algo positivo para la marca.

La paciencia del equipo de soporte ante una situación complicada reflejaron la visión y personalidad que la marca muestra en su publicidad, siempre buscando ayudarnos y siendo transparentes cuando algo salió mal.

De mi parte no puedo hacer otra cosa mas que recomendarles Jüsto!

I found the formula for my happiness and you may not like it, but I don’t care

I consider myself a young man with still so much to learn about life. In my 35 years of age I just managed to start a company, make good friends and most important form a family with my wife and two daughters. Never planted a tree and haven’t written a book.

Those three things didn’t come easy, struggles to get things going at the company, fights and distance with friends and one or two (or a thousand) arguments with mi wife and a lot of sleepless nights singing nursery songs made my life miserable (according to social standards of how happiness should be, all found on social media) but I just realized that all those difficult moments translate into happiness, well the acceptance of those moments. Let me explain.

Once I realized that not all companies grow to hundreds of employees and millions in billing on a couple of years, I was happy with the accomplishments of my own company. I stopped measuring things against others and just accept what I had done. This has nothing to do with conformity, on the contrary, I want to keep growing but I accept my accomplishments and failures as my own.

Between work and family I haven’t dedicate a lot of time to friends but now I understand that good friends are not the ones you talk to everyday but the ones you talk to after months and they support you no matter what and you are ready to help them whenever they call. I can say I have some of those.

Marriage is hard, very hard. There is compromising and getting used to your partners obsessions and it can be a constant struggle but the moment you realize that your anger and frustration is only your responsibility you can take a step back and re evaluate a lot of things and just accept them. You can´t change them and that is fine, you should just focus on the things that are in your control, this is not easy but little by little I’m learning to let go.

In conclusion, for me ACCEPTANCE = HAPPINES. The more I accept the decisions I make and focus on the present without worrying much about the past or the future I feel happy, I feel complete.

I hope that in a couple of years I read this I find out that I was wrong because that would mean I’m still trying to be a better person, for me, for my family and for the people around me.

Perspective and impact

Life can be better if we have a clear perspective of whats important in life, of how our actions positively impact our lives and the lives of others.

If we have the opportunity to do two things: 1) Go on Twitter and fight about left or right, Real Madrid or Barcelona, catholic or muslim, etc. Or 2) Spend that time working on a passion project, spending time with family and friends, taking a walk on the park, etc. Why does it feel that everyone chooses the first one? Do we not see that doing that has absolutely no positive impact in the world, we are not making our existence matter. We are just giving ourselves this fake sense of importance.

I’m not saying don’t go to social media, just understand that the time you spend there could have a more positive impact in our life if we stopped talking and started doing.

Be nice to other people and get your Karma credit

John Lennon talks about Instant Karma, that should apply to everything in life. If you are nice to people they will be nice to you.

If you are nice to a client, the client will be nice to you. If you are nice to to the guy next to you in traffic, he will be nice to you.

Just remember:

Instant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead

Assume your responsibility

  • It’s not Facebook’s fault if you believe every piece of bullshit you read.
  • It’s not Lime’s fault if you fell of the scooter and break an ankle.
  • It is not the fault of any company if you can’t assume responsibility for you actions.
  • It is not the fault of any person if the outcome is not what you expected.

People keep trying to avoid responsibility in every aspect of their life. If you messed up, accept it. If your team misses a deadline because of you, you should no longer be part of the team.

Voltaire about god and everything we believe in

There is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night.
