My rules

I love lists.
Every night before sleep I write a short To-Do list of 4 or 5 things I have to accomplish the next day.
It’s a small secret I’ve learned by one of my mentors (he use to say “don’t work hard, think more”) and I have to say that he was right, it works. Really. I have a list for everything: nutrition, fitness, business.. It works!
I don’t want to live life just spinning my wheels and putting out fires. That’s why I pre-determine my top priorities for each day and I write these down on my to-do list.

I also have list of my rules, the ten thing that really matter to me.
Here’s my list:

1. The most important thing in life is to know why you do what you are doing.

2. When you have the vision, delegate everything to the best people you can find.

3. Listen, think and let your results speak.

4. Act as if it were impossible to fail.

5. No excuses, the responsibility is always and only yours.

6. Look for the essential, 99% of everything will be lost.

7. Always take risks, break the rules, the forces of the universe will be coalesced in your favor.

8. Do not indulge yourself with karma, it is a patient creditor.

9. Remember the scale of values: time, people, money, things.

10. If you must, hit first. Strong.
