Everything changes at 9:00am

Everything starts in a few hours. ​ At around 9:00am.
Matt Gray calls it separation.
Why?
Because what you choose to do at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning will separate you from 99% of your competitors. No matter is colleagues, companies or whatever. You compete. Almost for survival. ​ While many wait to January 1st to start doing things in a new year, Matt Gray for example starts his year on October 1.
While everyone else is waiting until after the holidays to start, he already knows exactly what he is executing on in 2026 and he is moving aggressively. ​ Well… it may be late now to grab Matt’s idea. ​ But you could still do something that will set you apart.
Set your alarm. Clear your morning. And start doing something none of your competitors is doing. At 9:00am… tomorrow or 5:00am if you are a earlier morning. But don’t follow the crowd. ​ Here you are a few ideas to start your day. ​Vicente Valencia Academy ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Treasury, the local council, procurement, operations, the unions, regulators, local communities, the CFO… Miss one and you’ll pay for it...
I tried to move the suitcase. And I couldn’t believe the weight. “But… what have you put inside, just for a few days?” “Almost nothing, it’s half-empty” I wondered what the weight would be for my wife if the suitcase was half-full. We live in a world of abundance. But this creates a big issue in many people. It’s difficult to decide. To choose. Pick up something and disregard the rest. I call it the Tinder syndrome. Lots of dates, but zero commitment… as you feel that you’re missing out if...
I’ve been doing quite a lot of work these days with market lead proposals. I mean, proposals coming directly from the market and made to the government of New Zealand. I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it. IP, exclusive...
