ADVICE FOR
ENTREPRENEURS
FORGET THE CHAIN OF COMMAND
Communicate with colleagues directly, not through supervisors or managers.
Fast communicators make fast decisions.
Fast decisions = competitive advantage.
BE CLEAR, NOT CLEVER
Avoid nonsense words and technical jargon. It slows down communication.
Choose words that are concise, to the point and easy to understand.
Don’t try to sound smart, be efficient.
USE COMMON SENSE
Don’t interrupt unless it’s absolutely necessary.
If your current step doesn’t make sense, contribute to progress or apply to your specific situation, then skip that step and notify whoever is responsible.
HARD WORK
Be prepared to work hard and to take risks.
Learn new skills and upgrade your current ones every year.
Focus on what matters and don’t be afraid to take risks, to innovate, to be creative, to make big plans.
PASSION
Be passionate about what you’re doing. Meet yourself first if not.
Invest in yourself and do things that are useful to everyone and to contribute more than they consume.
Ambition is good.
PARTNERSHIPS
AVOID LARGE MEETINGS
Large meetings waste valuable time and energy.
There is not enough time for everyone to contribute.
Don’t schedule unless you’re certain they provide value.
LEAVE A MEETING WHEN YOUR PRESENCE IS USELESS
If you’re not contributing.
If a meeting doesn’t require your input, value, or decisions.
It’s not rude to leave a meeting, it’s rude to waste people’s time.
FORGET FREQUENT MEETINGS
There is no better way to waste everyone’s time than frequent meetings.
Use meetings to collaborate, attack issues head on, and to solve urgent problems.
Instead of a meeting, send a text, send an email, or communicate through apps or slack channel.
Don’t interrupt unless it’s absolutely necessary.
RESPECT
Every business has its own pros and cons.
Each partner has its own problems.
Be nice with your partners, but also be direct to solve problems as soon as possible.
This is a business, not a schoolyard.
THERE IS ALWAYS A LEADER
Each person has different ideas.
Every idea has its action.
Every action has its responsibility.
Each person is responsible for their ideas.
PRINCIPLES
PERSEVERANCE
Anyone knows how to define freedom, but most get into debt to survive in this game that is life.
Remember: if you owe money, you depend. And if you depend, you lose.
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.
PRODUCTIVITY
Whenever something new is created or improved, there will be errors, success will be determined by the speed with these errors are recognized and solved.
I’ll save you time:
If you’re doing it for money, show me how much you’re making.
If you’re doing it to add value, show me what you’ve accomplished.
If you’re doing it as a hobby, don’t waste my time.
The most expensive thing in life is what is worth nothing.
RESPONSIBILITY
Whatever you do, expect the best, but be prepared for the worst.
It’s okay to fight for your rights, but I’m not going to support you if your right becomes my responsibility.
Tell me the story of your life and the decisions you made along the way and why you made them.
Also tell me about some of the most serious problems you’ve had and how you’ve solved them.
THE REAL KEY TO SUCCESS

YOUR LIQUIDITY IS YOUR WEAKNESS
