Welcome to my worldview

It is long known in the self-help literature that mindset is the origin of our actions, in such a way that even if you repeated the same steps, these wouldn’t lead to precisely the same results because of the intent (the why, so to speak) is not the same. The origin of our expression is the mindset in any shape or form. So, it’s our most precious treasure, a treasure which cannot be stolen away from us, but it can be evolved or damaged if we allow other people that.

The P2P financial markets are yet to converge. In Latin America, there are a lot of actors in the market offering excellent financial services, from money transfers to banking, retail trading, insurance, and so on and so forth.

Today's post will focus on P2P currency exchanges, unlicensed international money transfer services, and unlicensed retail currency exchanges, which often comprise individuals executing transactions manually with their personal bank accounts. These unlicensed currency exchanges are more common than you think in Latin America.

In the hypothetical scenario that you want to optimize your finances as an employee, you have two options: Reduce your current expenses and increase your salary. Since both of these options are non-exclusive, you choose to do both.

Many words have been written about reducing your expenses, so today, we’ll talk about the latter option: Increase your salary.

If you want to ask for a pay raise, in short words: Don’t. Stop right there. Most of the time, you’re not ready to ask for it.

First Monday of the year 2022!

I’m grateful for what this year 2021 has brought into my life. Some were substantial changes, changes for the better which were needed.

More often than not, we as employees keep to ourselves radical ideas that would be beneficial to organizations. Our bosses ask us to “think outside the of the box,” but when coming up with the ideas after our personal brainstorming, we tone down our ideas, or adopt ideas from someone else, falling victims of groupthink or worse, adopting HIPPO’s (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion).

You may recognize in your life people that have helped you at a difficult time or situation, or you have someone in your life that you admire most because of their achievements. Whether you hired them as coaches or you were just observing them, if you think of it, you can learn something from everyone you meet in life.
