Hace 11 años comenzamos @GBMplus con la idea de democratizar las inversiones en el país.

De demostrar que las inversiones son para todos. De romper todos los tabúes y paradigmas para convertir a México en un país de inversionistas.

2020 marcará historia...

Abro hilo Las cuentas de inversión en casas de bolsa habían tenido un crecimiento insípido en los últimos 10 años en el país.

La evolución es nuestra constante. Parecería algo obvio en el contexto actual, pero esta evolución y el impacto que puede tener el dinero en la vida de las personas ha sido nuestra motivación para seguir impulsando el potencial financiero de todos los mexicanos.

Después de 9 años de estar creando diferentes productos digitales para los inversionistas, nos dimos cuenta del poder que genera tener todo tu dinero en un mismo lugar. Una herramienta que empodere y potencialice las inversiones de los mexicanos para generar libertad financiera.

Vivimos en la época más optimista en toda la historia de la humanidad.

Decir esto suena casi ofensivo considerando que estamos en la mitad de una pandemia global cuyo fin no está en el horizonte, que se acerca la recesión económica más importante de las últimas décadas... que el calentamiento global y los desastres naturales están amenazando nuestra coexistencia con el planeta y que además las redes sociales se encargan de recordarnos estas y otras desgracias todo el tiempo.

Pero...

(1/13) A lo largo de los años he ido desarrollando un grupo de principios que me han servido como guía para poder lograr mis objetivos de vida.

He descubierto que son una de las mejores herramientas para poder impulsar mi potencial.

Aquí un thread de mis 11 mandamientos: (2/13)

1. “Locura es hacer lo mismo una y otra vez esperando obtener resultados diferentes”
– Albert Einstein

Pasan los años y sigo sorprendiéndome de lo difícil que es romper con el status quo. Las cosas no cambian a menos que actuemos de manera distinta.

Hoy es un día importante en mi vida.

Después de meses de preparación, lanzo mi blog personal con la intención de ayudar a todos aquellos que busquen impulsar su verdadero potencial en todos los aspectos de su vida.

javiermtzmorodo.com Todos tenemos un potencial oculto que no conocemos. Para impulsarlo la clave está en llevar a cabo pequeñas acciones de manera constante e iterativa. Los verdaderos retornos en la vida se dan cuando estas acciones crecen de manera exponencial a través del tiempo.

“Here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship... And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship -be it JC or Allah, be it the Wiccan Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles- is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.

Creating is a conscious choice that can be one’s defining force in life. Creativity is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered.

Excerpt from the book “The Path of Least Resistance” by Robert Fritz.

Thread 👇🏻 Creating is not a product of the circumstances. Creating is completely different from reacting or responding to the circumstances you are in. The process of creating is not generated by the circumstances in which you find yourself, but by the creation itself.

Learning to lead yourself is the hardest part of becoming a leader.

(Thread) Learning to lead yourself is hard because we are wired to look outward. We feel pain and we look up and out to see who’s hurt us. We feel loss, and the hurt gives rise to anger as we look for someone to blame.

Infinite players look forward, not to a victory in which the last will achieve a timeless meaning, but toward ongoing play in which the past will require constant reinterpretation. Infinite players do not oppose the actions of others, but initiate actions of their own in such a way that others will respond by initiating their own.

To understand human culture it is necessary to concede that only the damming of mimetic forces by means of the prohibition and the diversion of this forces in the direction of a ritual are capable of spreading and perpetuating the reconciliatory effect of the surrogate victim. Religion is nothing other than this immense effort to keep peace. The sacred is violence, but if religious man worships violence it is only insofar as the worship of violence is supposed to bring peace, but the means it has of bringing it are never free of sacrificial violence.

Thanks @cdixon for the excellent recomendaron amazon.com/How-Internet-H… Today, we live in a world where consumers not only expect, but demand, infinite selection and instant gratification. Amazon brought infinite selection and it was Napster, a decade before Facebook, who brought instant gratification.

If it is beyond your power to control, let it go.

Do not wish that all things go well with you, but that you will go well with all things.

In this way, you will overcome life’s challenges, rather than be overcome by them.

— Epictetus If you find yourself acting to impress others, or avoiding action out of fear of what they might think, you have left the path.

Find satisfaction in following your philosophy. If you want to be respected, start by respecting yourself.

Like most inventions the car and the plane started as a curiosity, became a toy, were gradually accepted, and then utterly took off.
collaborativefund.com/uploads/Collab… Two things stick out from these two stories:

1. Nothing is obvious from the beginning.

2. Inventions take incredible imagination. But not even the most imaginative minds can foresee where today’s breakthroughs will eventually lead.

Today, too many schools focus on jamming information into kids’ brains. In the past this made sense, because information was scarce, and even the slow trickle of existing information was repeatedly blocked by censorship. In contrast in the twenty-first century we are flooded by enormous amounts of information, and the censors don’t even try to block it. Instead, they are busy spreading misinformation or distracting us with irrelevancies.

The best advice a fifteen-year-old can have today is: don’t rely in adults too much. Most of them mean well, but they just don’t understand the world. In the past, it was a relatively safe bet to follow adults, because they knew the world quite well and it changed slowly. But the twenty-first century is going to be different. Because of the increasing pace of change, you can never be certain weather what the adults are telling you is timeless wisdom or out-dated bias.

Today the richest 1% own half the world’s wealth.

Even more alarmingly, the richest 100 people together own more than the poorest 4 billion!

@harari_yuval The situation could get far worst, the rise of AI might eliminate the economic value and political power of most humans.

At the same time, improvements in biotechnology might make it possible to translate economic inequality into biological inequality.

A thread:
“The Psychology of Money” by @morganhousel cc: @naval Investing is the study of how people behave with money. It’s not the study of finance. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.

The finance industry talks too much about what to do, and not enough about what happens in your head when you try to do it.

Believing that what just happened will keep happening shows up constantly in psychology. We like patterns and have short memories. And when you’re dealing with money it can be a torment.

Every big financial win or loss is followed by mass expectations of more wins and losses. Example: The stock market falling 40% in 2008 was followed, with forecasts of another impending plunge. Expecting what just happened to happen soon again is an error in itself. But not realizing that your long-term investing goals should remain intact, is the biggest mistake.

Two things I learned this week:
1. Increasing cognitive load on the frontal cortex (ie executive function, working memory) decreases prosocial functions.
2. The larger someone’s social network, the larger their prefrontal cortex -social complexity expands the frontal cortex- Two things I learned today:
1. Dopamine is more about the anticipation of reward than about reward itself.
2. More so, it’s not just about anticipation; it fuels goal-directed behavior needed to do the work. It is central to motivation and willpower (immediate vs delayed reward)

Nobody knows anything about anything And that’s a good thing

The future of governments, nations and states;
Access creates globalism, and globalism disrupts political systems by making the concept of borders obsolete. As borders disappear the concept of taxation, which supports governments, becomes increasingly fragile... As borders disappear, the concept of entitlement (the belief that because you were born in a particular place, you are entitled to the economic advantages associated with that place) falls apart, and as it falls apart, the perks of nationhood fall apart with it.
